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.

Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: The subscription-manager CLI tool now has the ability to list available values for all system purpose attributes (role, usage, addons* and service-level) of a user's organization. While this capability was already implemented for service-level, it is now possible for role, usage and addons* using the --list option. When a system is registered, simply use following syntax: [root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager usage --list +-------------------------------------------+ Available usage +-------------------------------------------+ - Production - Development When the system is not registered, then it is necessary to provide authentication options --username --password and --org as follows: [root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager usage --list --username user@redhat.com --password secret --org 12345678 +-------------------------------------------+ Available usage +-------------------------------------------+ - Production - Development When a user tries to set a non-available value, then subscription-manager will print a warning. Keep in mind that subscription-manager will still set the value despite the printed warning as shown here: [root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager usage --set=Foo Warning: Provided value "Foo" is not included in the list of valid values - Production - Development usage set to "Foo". Likewise when the system is not registered and the user tries to set a non-available value while passing credentials, a warning will also be displayed and the value of the system purpose attribute value will still be set: [root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager usage --set=Foo --username user@redhat.com --password secret --org 12345678 Warning: Provided value "Foo" is not included in the list of valid values - Production - Development usage set to "Foo". Caution: While setting invalid system purpose attribute values is still possible, the warning messages are only printed when the user has already registered or has provided authentication options. Reason: This new feature will improve user experience with setting system purpose values. Result: This new feature will reduce the probability of setting an unavailable system purpose attribute. Note: * Please note that the following release note on addons option is still true. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/8.1_release_notes/index#known-issue_subscription-management

Description Rehana 2018-09-28 13:12:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
Currently there is no way for user to know the valid syspurpose attribute values once the anaconda gui installer screen is past.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription management server: 2.3.9-1
subscription management rules: 5.26
subscription-manager: 1.23.6-1.el8


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
There is no way for user to know the  valid syspurpose values in order to have a successful auto-attach experience

Expected results:
Request to provide a option to list the valid syspurpose values and there by reducing the number of wrong syspurpose value request to server

Comment 2 John Sefler 2018-09-28 13:34:05 UTC 
Note that this RFE complements RFE Bug 1632283 and will help improve the customer experience...

As a user who tries to set a system purpose value and is warned (from RFE Bug 1632283) that the value is invalid, now I want a way to list the available valid syspurpose values.
Comment 7 Archana Pandey 2020-07-28 10:59:41 UTC 
Preliminary verification for listing valid syspurpose values on the scratch build is completed.

following are the results for preliminary testing of newly added options for sub-man role/usage/addons commands-
