Description Jason Dickerson 2019-10-29 15:20:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
The enabled repositories plugin cannot run as a non-root user.  however, it displays the following error, indicating the server is no longer subscribed to Satellite:

[provisioner@sirtgpu01 ~]$ yum search htop
Loaded plugins: enabled_repos_upload, package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
============================================================================================= N/S matched: htop ==============================================================================================

  Name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything.

Cannot upload enabled repos report, is this client registered?
[provisioner@sirtgpu01 ~]$


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Latest Client tools provided with Sat 6.6


How reproducible:
completely


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run a yum command as a non root user
2.
3.

Actual results:

You get the error


Expected results:
The plugin checks if it is running as root or not, and you either get a warning you are a non-root user, or it logs the warning silently.  


Additional info:
This creates confusion when non-root users run yum commands.  This could be avoided with better messaging or security context awareness.

Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32744 from this bug
Comment 4 Maria 2021-08-26 10:01:38 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32744 has been resolved.
Comment 7 sganar 2022-05-19 07:50:31 UTC 
Verified.

Tested on Satellite 6.11.0 Snap 20.0

Steps followed: 
1. Run a yum command as a non root user

Observation: 
A proper message is displayed saying "you are not logged in as root"

```$ yum search curl
Loaded plugins: enabled_repos_upload, package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
