Only Organization Administrators can see the Users tab on the top navigation bar. If you click the Users tab, the Users category and links appear. These pages enable you to grant and edit permissions for those who will administer your system groups. Click in the User List to modify users within your organization.
As shown in Figure 4-8, each row in the User List represents a user within your organization. There are three columns of information for each user:
Username — The login name of the user. If you click on a username, the User Details page for the user is displayed. Refer to Section 4.8.1.2 User Details for more information.
Real Name — The full name of the user (last name first).
Roles — List of the user's privileges, such as Organization Administrator, Channel Administrator and normal user. Users can have multiple roles.
Last Sign In — Shows when the user last logged into RHN.
Click the create new user link on the top-right corner of the page to add new users to the organization. When registering a system, a user account can be created and added to the organization, as well. This should be coordinated by the Organization Administrator. Refer to Section 6.3 Registering a User Account for instructions.
On the Create User page, complete all required fields, including all login and contact information. Then click the Create Login button on the bottom right-hand corner of the page. Once the login is created, you can click on the username in the User List to make system and group assignments. Refer to Section 4.8.1.2 User Details for more information.
 | Warning |
|---|---|
Be careful when creating users, because no interface exists for their deletion. Unless you are an RHN Satellite Server customer, you must contact rhn-support@redhat.com to have users removed. RHN Satellite Server customers may use the button on the User Details page. |
Clicking on a username displays the User Details page for the individual. This page is divided into five tabs:
Details — The username, first name, last name, email address, and user roles for the user. All of this information is modifiable. To do so, make your changes and click the Update button. Remember, when changing a user's password, you will see only asterisks as you type the password. To assign a user the role of Organization Administrator or Channel Administrator, select the appropriate checkbox. Organization Administrators are automatically granted channel administration privileges. When satisfied with the changes, click Update.
System Groups — List of system groups that the user may administer. To add or remove system groups from a user's administration, select or unselect the appropriate checkboxes and click the Update Permissions button.
In addition, you may establish default system groups for the user to capture all systems registered by that user. To do this, select the default group or groups from the dropdown menu at the bottom of the page. Then click the Update Defaults button. An asterisk appears next to the names of the defaults in the dropdown menu.
Systems — List of systems that the user can administer. These systems come from the system groups assigned to the user on the previous tab. To add systems to the System Set Manager, select them and click the Update button. Clicking the name of a system takes you to its System Details page. Refer to Section 4.4.2.6 System Details for more information.
Channel Permissions — Subscription and management options set in these subtabs (which correspond with similar tabs on the Channel Details and Managed Channel Details pages):
Subscription — Identifies channels the user may subscribe systems to. To change these, select or unselect the appropriate checkboxes and click the Update Permissions button. Note that channels subscribable through the user's admin status or the channel's global setting cannot be altered. They are identified with a check icon.
Management — Identifies channels the user may manage. To change these, select or unselect the appropriate checkboxes and click the Update Permissions button. This status does not enable the user to create new channels. Note that channels automatically manageable through the user's admin status cannot be altered. They are identified with a check icon.
Preferences — Modifiable Red Hat Network options. These include:
Email Notification — Determine whether you want to receive email every time an Errata Alert is applicable to one or more systems in your RHN account, as well as daily summaries of system events.
RHN List Page Size — Maximum number of items that will appear in a list on a single page. If more items are in the list, clicking the Next button will display the next group of items. This preference applies to the user's view of system lists, Errata lists, package lists, and so on.
Time Zone — Set your time zone so that scheduled actions are arranged according to the time in your time zone.
Red Hat Contact Options — Identify what ways (email, phone, fax, or mail) Red Hat may contact you.
To modify any of these options, make your changes and click the Save Preferences button.
Addresses — General address, billing address, and shipping address for the user, as configured during user creation. To modify these addresses, click Edit this address below the address to be modified, make the changes, and click the Update button.
