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.

Description Rupesh Patel 2022-09-08 11:42:18 UTC 
Description of problem:

For Systems that are already registered using subscription-manager, while running yum install as a non-root user print message that the system is not registered along with required yum to run as root. 

This message doesn't seem accurate or misleading the guest users (even though it is correct that guest user can not install packages and required root)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0 

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Installed fresh system
2. Register it using subscription-manager
3. log in as guest user
4. It says root is required but it also says the system is not registered which is not true. 

Actual results:

[rupesh@rupeshlap-redhat-com ~]$ yum install haproxy
Not root, Subscription Management repositories not updated
 
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
 
Error: This command has to be run with superuser privileges (under the root user on most systems).
[rupesh@rupeshlap-redhat-com ~]$

 
Expected results:


[rupesh@rupeshlap-redhat-com ~]$ yum install haproxy
Not root, Subscription Management repositories not updated
 
Error: This command has to be run with superuser privileges (under the root user on most systems).
[rupesh@rupeshlap-redhat-com ~]$

Comment 4 Craig Donnelly 2022-10-19 15:43:42 UTC

[root@rhel92 ~]# subscription-manager unregister
Unregistering from: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription
System has been unregistered.
