Cause

When using Custom role, DHCP and DNS permissions depend on Global account setting. If you are using Custom role permissions, the account must have Administrator rights to be able to update DHCP and DNS.

Resolution

Set the following permissions in order to modify DHCP and DNS:

"Admin" rights within IPAM.
"Power User" rights within IPAM.
"Custom" rights within IPAM and "Administrator" rights within Orion.
