Searchable Contact Assignments per Content-Type in API/UI #8645
Description
NetBox version
v3.1.7
Feature type
New functionality
Proposed functionality
I propose adding query/filter parameters in the API & UI on each Content-Type, that is supported by Contact Assignments.
So it would be possible to just filter by Contact & Contact-Role to receive all matching Objects:
virtualization/virtual-machines/?contact=Some%20Team&contact_role=administration
If the direct integration is not the design pattern desired by the maintainers, and it should be kept as a standalone endpoint/functionality, the UI at least requires a combined filterable list on all Contact Assignments, that basically represents the API endpoint /api/tenancy/contact-assignments/ for users being able to leverage this useful feature.
Like with /dcim/interfaces/ in the UI.
Use case
Currently the only places for viewing Contact Assignments in the UI are:
- on the Contact itself
- on the Contact-Role itself
- on the Object itself
All these pages provide no further filtering on shown Contact Assignments.
Consider having a Contact that has more than a handful of Devices, VMs, Virtual-Chassis and Clusters assigned - how would one leverage the UI to find all VMs, the Contact is an "Administrator" for?
Via API it is possible to filter for NetBox Objects by Contact & Contact-Role, e.g.:
api/tenancy/contact-assignments/?content_type=virtualization.virtualmachine&contact_id=6&role=administration
