NetBox v3.6

v3.6.0 (FUTURE)

Breaking Changes

PostgreSQL 11 is no longer supported (due to adopting Django 4.2). NetBox v3.6 requires PostgreSQL 12 or later.
The napalm_driver and napalm_args fields (which were deprecated in v3.5) have been removed from the platform model.

New Features

Relocated Admin Views (#12589, #12590, #12591, #13044)

Management views for the following object types, previously available only under the backend admin interface, have been relocated to the primary user interface:

Users
Groups
Object permissions
API tokens
Configuration revisions

The admin UI is scheduled for removal in NetBox v4.0.

Configurable Default Permissions (#13038)

Administrators now have the option of configuring a set of default permissions to be applied to all users, regardless of explicit permission or group assignment. This is accomplished by defining the DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS configuration parameter.

User Bookmarks (#8248)

Users can now bookmark their most commonly-visited objects in NetBox. Bookmarks will display both on the dashboard (if configured) and on a user-specific bookmarks view.

Custom Field Choice Sets (#12988)

Select and multi-select custom fields now employ discrete, reusable choice sets containing the valid options for each field. A choice set may be shared by multiple custom fields. Additionally, each choice within a set can now specify both a value and a human-friendly label (see #13241).

Pre-Defined Location Choices for Custom Fields (#12194)

Users now have the option to employ one of several pre-defined choice sets when creating a custom field. These include:

IATA airport codes
ISO 3166 country codes
UN/LOCODE identifiers

Extra choices may also be appended to the pre-defined sets as needed.

Restrict Tag Usage by Object Type (#11541)

Tags may now be restricted to use with designated object types. Tags that have no specific object types assigned may be used with any object that supports tag assignment.
