So I believe that this "Must be run as root" check can be moved and hopefully we can avoid this. This has been fixed by the following commit: https://github.com/redhataccess/insights-client/commit/e2281feef75338c6f7c95fa9e2cecb7584374951 This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: I've hit this issue when running upstream python tests and have redhat-access-insights installed. test_pydoc.py failed: ====================================================================== FAIL: test_apropos_with_bad_package (test.test_pydoc.PydocImportTest) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/test/test_pydoc.py", line 341, in test_apropos_with_bad_package result = run_pydoc('zqwykjv', '-k', PYTHONPATH=TESTFN) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/test/test_pydoc.py", line 196, in run_pydoc rc, out, err = assert_python_ok('-B', pydoc.__file__, *args, **env) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/test/script_helper.py", line 55, in assert_python_ok return _assert_python(True, *args, **env_vars) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/test/script_helper.py", line 47, in _assert_python "stderr follows:\n%s" % (rc, err.decode('ascii', 'ignore'))) AssertionError: Process return code is 1, stderr follows: ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject) Red Hat Access Insights must be run as root Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-access-insights-1.0.6-0.el7 How reproducible: 1. create user "test" # useradd test 2. login as user test # su - test 3. run pydoc -k $ pydoc -k something Red Hat Access Insights must be run as root So basically just searching documentation as non-root user produce "Red Hat Access Insights must be run as root" error message. On the other side, redhat-access-insights have to be run under root user so I'm not sure if this is fixable.
