v4.4.7

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Feature request. In short, our customer would like to be able to limit whether a user of NetBox can view "Rendered Config" and other config contexts from within the "Devices" model in NetBox.

Use case

This is to ensure that when configs are rendered along with their passwords and other secrets, these are not openly visible to users whom they don't want to be able to view this information.

You can sort do this to a limited degree by denying access to Extras>Contexts, however the "Rendered Config" is visible regardless of this still on the device itself.

Could we expand permissions to include this?
