Specify Which User Groups Can View And Use Specific Saved Filters

[mr1716]

NetBox version

v3.7.8

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

This would allow admins to specify which Groups can use specific Saved Filters. Currently, if I have 10 Saved Filters, I believe that if all users can view that object, they will all be able to view all 10 Saved Filters, even if they're not needed or applicable.

Use case

The use case is that I have 2 teams using Netbox, and I have 10 filters. 4 specific to team A, 3 to team B, and 3 shared. Therefore, I would want team A to view 7 Saved Filters (1-4 and 7-10) and team B view 6 filters (5-10). Showing a more limited number of Saved Filters based on Group Permissions would provide an improved, faster, and decluttered Saved Filter experience.

Edited the title to be clear. Didn’t realize that the title didn’t reflect the body of the request so updated it!! I know this would be a change, but think it would be helpful!

If I've understood your proposal correctly, it should be possible to accomplish your use case using a Permission to grant different Groups access to view different sets of Saved Filters.

If I've misunderstood, please update your issue body to clarify the distinction between your proposal and what I've just described.

@jeffgdotorg you are correct

[mr1716]

@jeffgdotorg my question and I think use case is: if 2 user groups have access to the same object that the Saved Filters are applied against, is there a way to limit which groups can view those Saved Filters?

for example, I want to limit the Group Users to only see the Saved Filter for Active DCIM Device Objects, but not Needs Refresh Saved Filter for DCIM Device Objects. But I want the Group Power Users to be able to view both Saved a filters.

If this is already possible, please let me know. Didn’t see an easy way to do that and I may be missing something

Hey, just wanted to see if this was something that is a feature request or something that can already be done?
