NetBox version

v3.0.8

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

We in my company would love the possibility of adding multiple tenants to a single device.

Use case

In real life, some of the equipment we manage are shared by two separate tenants. We would love being able to document this by selecting multiple tenants on a device.

Database changes

dcim.device

field: tenants should be a list of ForeignKeys similar to tags.

External dependencies

No response

Tenant assignment indicates the ownership of a resource. It seems that you're interested in modeling dependency rather than ownership; this would need to be expressed in some other manner.

@PerAStad I'll leave it to you to decide whether you'd like to propose some alternative model for conveying tenant dependency, however the current implementation of tenant ownership is well established and must not be disturbed. If you come up with something tangible, please feel welcome to open another feature request.
