# Synchronized Data
|
|
|
|
Some NetBox models support automatic synchronization of certain attributes from remote [data sources](../models/core/datasource.md), such as a git repository hosted on GitHub or GitLab. Data from the authoritative remote source is synchronized locally in NetBox as [data files](../models/core/datafile.md).
|
|
|
|
!!! note "Permissions"
|
|
A user must be assigned the `core.sync_datasource` permission in order to synchronize local files from a remote data source. This is accomplished by creating a permission for the "Core > Data Source" object type with the `sync` action, and assigning it to the desired user and/or group.
|
|
|
|
The following features support the use of synchronized data:
|
|
|
|
* [Configuration templates](../features/configuration-rendering.md)
|
|
* [Configuration context data](../features/context-data.md)
|
|
* [Export templates](../customization/export-templates.md)
