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.

.Registration fails for user accounts that belong to multiple organizations Currently, when you attempt to register a system with a user account that belongs to multiple organizations, the registration process fails with the error message *You must specify an organization for new units*. To work around this problem, you can either: * Use a different user account that does not belong to multiple organizations. * Use the *Activation Key* authentication method available in the Connect to Red Hat feature for GUI and Kickstart installations. * Skip the registration step in Connect to Red Hat and use Subscription Manager to register your system post-installation.

Samantha can you please review?
Comment 4 Martin Kolman 2020-04-21 11:22:43 UTC 
So what is happening there if you get the "You must specify an organization for new units." error from subscription manager during an install time resgistration attempt is that the Red Hat account you are using is a member of two (or more) organizations. This is currently not supported due to missing subscription manager API needed by Anaconda to handle this case.

For RHEL 8.3 the missing subscription manager DBus API should be in place and we should be able to fix this issue, by presenting the user with a list of organizations to choose from if we find that they Red Hat account is a member of multiple organizations.

In the meantime there are two options to work around this issue:
- use a different account, that is not member of multiple organizations
- use the organization id + activation key authentication method (available both from GUI & kickstart)

Qin, can you test workarounds on comment #4
Comment 8 Qin Yuan 2020-05-26 07:53:08 UTC 
Both of the two work around work fine.
