NetBox version

v3.5.2

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Implement and use a custom User and Group model.

Use case

This would allow us to extend the User and Group model in the future (like adding a description to the Group model, which would be useful). It would also make them more compatible with the rest of the codebase allowing better use of the custom list and bulk views as we are moving the admin of those items from Django admin to NetBox.

Database changes

would need custom migrations for these new models.

External dependencies

No response
