See Infoblox documentation for more information on user rights administration in that product.

   TENANT MATCH ATTRIBUTE

   This can be set to the name of the extended attribute in Infoblox where Morpheus will check for the id of a morpheus tenant. This allows for setting the tenant’s Morpheus id to an extended attribute field on a network view or network in Infoblox, and when the network or view is discovered by morpheus, it will be auto assigned to the right tenant.

   Static IPs or DHCP Reservations

   EXTRA ATTRIBUTES

   Accepts a JSON input of custom attributes that can be saved on host records in Infoblox. These Must be first defined as extra attributes in Infoblox and values can be injected for the user creating the record and the date of assignment. The available injectable attributes are: userId, username, and dateCreated.

   {
     "Date Assigned":"<%=dateCreated%>",
     "Requestor":"<%=username%>",
     "Request Number":"<%=userId%>"
