We use Netdot mainly as an IPAM tool. We are quite pleased with it. 

I have several of my technicians registered in Netdot with User Type of "User". 
This allows them to add DNS records for new machines. Recently there was a need 
to change the IP address for a host and I was unable to figure out a way to 
allow a "User" to accomplish this. 

When I am logged in as an "Admin" my normal workflow to change a host's IP 
address is to find the host record, add the new IP address, and then remove the 
old address. When I am logged in as an "Admin" and browse to a host record, 
there is an '[add]' option in the Address part of the user interface. This 
option does not appear when logged in as a "User". The user in question has 
full access to several IP blocks and full access to the zone the host is in. 

Is there any way to allow a "User" to change the IP address of an existing 
host? I could make all of my technicians "Admin"s but I would like to give them 
the minimal level of access which they require to get their jobs done. 

Thanks.
