I discovered that the NetBox Documents plugin does not handle permissions correctly for users who are not superusers. Specifically, object-bound documents (such as site documents) are not visible to users with the appropriate object-specific permissions.

The issue lies in the navigation.py file, where the following line is currently used:

permissions=["netbox_documents.view_document"],

This causes the plugin to check for the generic document view permission, rather than the object-specific one. As a result, users without superuser status cannot see documents even if they have the necessary permissions for a specific object.

To fix this for site documents, the line should be changed to:

permissions=["netbox_documents.view_sitedocument"],

This ensures that the permission check is correctly aligned with the object-specific document model and allows regular users with the correct permissions to access the documents as intended.
