 #### Configurable Default Permissions ([#13038](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/13038))

+Administrators now have the option of configuring default permissions for _all_ users globally, regardless of explicit permission or group assignments granted in the database. This is accomplished by defining the `DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS` configuration parameter. By default, all users are granted permission to manage their own bookmarks and API tokens.
 
 #### User Bookmarks ([#8248](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/8248))

Additionally, each choice within a set can now specify both a raw value and a human-friendly label (see [#13241](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/13241)). Pre-existing custom field choices are migrated to choice sets automatically during the upgrade process.
