Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Created attachment 1152234 [details]
Screenshots from user's account, settings of software updates on different platforms.

Description of problem:
RHEL 7.3 Server is installed on several platforms: x86_64, ppc64, ppc64le, and s390x.
RHEL 7.3 Workstation is installed on a physical machine: x86_64.

A user "test" is added to each system. The user is granted administrator rights and is included in sudoers' list.
When I start GNOME control center, I select Details -> Check for updates -> tab Updates.

On all systems with RHEL 7.3 Server, updates are not allowed.
Message: Updates are automatically managed
On RHEL 7.3 Workstation, updates are allowed and listed in "Updates" tab.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.3 Workstation x86_64 has:
    gnome-software-3.14.7-2.el7.x86_64
RHEL 7.3 Server ppc64 has:
    gnome-software-3.14.7-2.el7.ppc64
RHEL 7.3 Server ppc64le has:
    gnome-software-3.14.7-2.el7.ppc64le
RHEL 7.3 Server s390x has:

RHEL 7.3 Server x86_64 has:
    gnome-software-3.14.7-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always when logging to a GNOME session as user with admin rights.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to a GNOME session
2. Start GNOME control center
3. Click on Details -> Check for updates -> tab Updates

Actual results:
Updates are not allowed on RHEL 7.3 Server on all platforms.
Updates are allowed on RHEL 7.3 Workstation x86_64.

Expected results:
Updates are allowed on RHEL 7.3 Server on all platforms
and on RHEL 7.3 Workstation on all platforms
when logged as user with admin rights.

Additional info:
