Thank you for your report. The issue you are having is not a bug however. Originally netbox came pre-populated with permissions for all objects, but that has not been the case for a good while.

To create permissions for journal entry go to http://netbox.local/admin/users/objectpermission/add/ choose Extras > journal entry under Object types. You can then create the the four permissions you are missing, or just the ones you need.

Thanks @kkthxbye-code I had no idea permissions should be created by admins. Why is that?

@aswen - It was always possible to create them, they were just pre-generated on install way back when. Creating them yourself provides better flexibility, as an example I could have a "Read-only IPAM" permission that includes all IPAM objects with only the read flag set. IMO this is easier than adding several distinct read permissions to each user/group.
