NetBox version

v3.6.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

If you have read/write access to Prefixes, you will see highlighted examples of available IP's for consumption:

However, the consumers of this tool who will want to find an available IP - do not manage prefixes, and only have read access to them: they don't see the available IP's, even though clicking on one of the green links does not need Prefix write access.

Use case

Having the green links available for IP consumption is one of the best features of netbox - but in my opinion, should not require write access to Prefixes.

Database changes

This is purely a UI change. I can't fathom any database changes needed.

External dependencies

None.

NM, Pebkac. the sample user somehow had a display preference to hide this feature and I erroneously attributed it to permissions.
