Import device types access denied

[andershagman]

I get access denied when trying to import device types as a regular user with device type add, change, del and view rights.
This is the same on Netbox 3.3.6, 3.4.5 or demo.netbox.dev.
The same user can manually create a device type.
Same user can import devices, manufacturers or whatever.

From demo.netbox.dev:

Which user on demo.netbox.dev - is it "andhag" ? That has permission called "kalle" which is view,add (only) on device type.

According to the source code, you need all the following permissions:

class DeviceTypeImportView(generic.BulkImportView):
    additional_permissions = [
        'dcim.add_devicetype',
        'dcim.add_consoleporttemplate',
        'dcim.add_consoleserverporttemplate',
        'dcim.add_powerporttemplate',
        'dcim.add_poweroutlettemplate',
        'dcim.add_interfacetemplate',
        'dcim.add_frontporttemplate',
        'dcim.add_rearporttemplate',
        'dcim.add_modulebaytemplate',
        'dcim.add_devicebaytemplate',
        'dcim.add_inventoryitemtemplate',
    ]

That's because importing the device type YAML can also create those related template objects.

I have upgraded in steps from 2.8 to now in prod 3.3.6. The modulebay and inventoryitemtemplate are new and were not part of any predefined permissions. I created two new permission objects in this style:

And now it works.
