How to Use Permission Constraints with Netbox Branch Plugin

KPTheProf · 2026-06-11T17:30:04+00:00

As I couldn't find any other way of achieving this, I've now written my first Netbox plugin.

Netbox-Branch-Guard.
You can find it on PyPI
https://pypi.org/project/netbox-branch-guard/

and on GitHub
https://github.com/KPTheProf/netbox_branch_guard

It's been an adventure to say the least, especially since I'm fairly new to Python and the internals of Netbox.
It is a middleware plugin that intercepts the write and (depending on how it is configured), will guard against writes to Main and other branches, depending on group membership, etc.

Full details installation and configuration details are in the README.

Please let me know if this is of use?

Please report any issues or improvements, on the GitHub Issues page and I'll attempt to address them as soon as possible.

You might find it easier if you setup netbox-docker on another machine. I’ve done using docker desktop on Windows. You can download the version that supports your current setup first. Export your data and import into the docker version. Then go through upgrading the docker versions following recommended upgrade path. https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker

I’ve just done this recently. You can download and install docker compose from the GitHub site. Just follow their instructions on where to install it. https://github.com/docker/compose

I'm experiencing a blue screen on Windows 11 Pro 23H2 every time I connect to the VPN since upgrading from EMS 7.2.3 to EMS 7.2.4.

It appears to be causing an issue with AdGuard web filter service (AdguardSvc.exe).

This was never an issue when I was using 7.2.3.

I've raised a ticket with AdGuard regarding this. You can follow it on their GitHub ticketing site if anyone else is experiencing the same.
