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.

Description of problem:
insights-client CLI returns cryptic error message when run as non-root.
[cloud-user@localhost] $ insights-client --register
No GPG-verified eggs can be found
[cloud-user@localhost] $ sudo insights-client --register
... (success)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ sudo insights-client --version
Client: 3.0.3-9
Core: 3.0.4-3
How reproducible:
when using CLI as non-root user
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login or SSH to system as non-root, e.g. cloud-user
2. run insights-client without sudo
Actual results:
No matter what args/options CLI exits with 1: "No GPG-verified eggs can be found"
Expected results:
1. Help should always be returned regardless of user permission, e.g. insights-client -h
2. If user does not have required permissions then display helpful error, such as "insights-client must be run as root user"
