NetBox version

3.x

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

sync/pull all groups under a specified OU into netbox (along with that group's members).

Use case

For those that choose to use the contact functionality, they'll be able to specify users/groups as contacts of a server (I think right now only users can be a contact, but the ability to have a contact group as a contact would be nice as well).

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response

While waiting for the approval and coding : You could create a CustomScript to to that. and schedule it to run once a day/hour/...
I have the same for the Tenant. I import them daily from a LDAP source.
