NetBox version

3.5.9

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

Starting with a clean install of NetBox 3.5.9:

  1. Create a group with view, add, change, delete permissions for the device-type object.
  2. Add a test user to this group.
  3. Login with test user, go to Device Types and click the import button.

I only see this issue with device types. All other object imports seem to work fine when groups and permissions are being specified.

Expected Behavior

Expected to see the import UI

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Sep 19, 2023):

The device type import view requires additional permissions for creating component templates as well:

252bf03525/netbox/dcim/views.py (L1086-L1099)

This particular view will not be accessible to a user without these permissions assigned.
