Change Type

Correction

Area

Configuration parameters

Proposed Changes

In the current documentation we have two seemingly conflicting sentences:

Shouldn't it say REMOTE_AUTH_DEFAULT_GROUPS will not function if REMOTE_AUTH_ENABLED is disabled? Or explain better the situation if this is correct?

Branch ready for https://github.com/danielestevez/netbox/compare/doc-remote-auth-default-group MR ready if approved a3f172fc77
