NetBox Version

v4.5.1

Python Version

3.13

Steps to Reproduce

Since update from 4.4.10 to 4.5.1 a user with all available permissions got only Ownership in Admin menu.
I read all the changelogs but did not find any breaking change explaining this behavior,

Steps to reproduce:

upgrade from netbox version 4.4.10 to 4.5.1

Expected Behavior

User with all permissions should be able to see full Admin menu and submenus like this:

Observed Behavior

The user got only Ownership in Admin menu.
The user may access and change some objects by using the URLs directly (i.e. /users/users or /core/config-revisions/) but others show an error page about missing permission (i.e. /core/background-queues/ or /core/system/)
