Hello Lana, thanks for these fixes. Also please move the bug to ON_QA only when all parts of it (~ you consider it done from your side) are fixed. E.g. here we have not provided you info about that "Repositories" tag. For getting more info, please just add comment asking for it and maybe check "Need additional information from...". but anyway, if you prefers this way, I guess we can live with it :)
What I wanted to say: when bug is ON_QA, it might be too late for you to incorporate additional data for a part of the bug from QE.
(In reply to comment #3) > > Also there is no mention about tab Repositories. > > Please provide content for this. For a better orientation in what we are speaking about, I have screenshot. So for Repositories tab: Repositories — Provides the a way to assign yum repository (configurable by Channels -> Manage Software Channels -> Manage Repositories) or multiple repositories to the channel. Then you can sync repository content to the channel. Add / Remove — Lists configured repositories and allows you to add repository to the channel, or remove already added one. Just use the checkbox and "Update Repositories" button. Sync — Lists repositories tied with the channel and allows you to set when contet transfer/update will be performed. You can do it manually now using button "Sync now", or configure a schedule for repeating sync - see section "Select a schedule" Hopefully this put some light in, Jan the Spammer
Created attachment 493815 [details] Repositories tab
Created attachment 493816 [details] Repositories -> Sync tab
Hello Lana, Subscribers part of Manage Software Channel Details didn't change and Repositories tab is not described -> returning. * As for Repositories tab, please use Jan's description from comment 6. * For subscribers - I suggest this change: - Change "Second, the Globally Subscribable checkbox on the Details tab must be unchecked, thereby making the channel subscribable by user." to "Second, <b>Per-User Subscription Restrictions</b> combobox on <b>Details</b> page must be set to <i>Only selected users within your organization may subscribe to this channel</i>, thereby making the channel subscribable by user." (I have added tags just to emphasize important words.)

This tab appears when two conditions are true. First, the logged in user must be an &OA; or a Channel Administrator. Second, the <guilabel>Per-User Subscription Restrictions</guilabel> combobox on the <guilabel>Details</guilabel> tab must be set to <guilabel>Only selected users within your organization may subscribe to this channel</guilabel>. This will ensure that users can subscribe to the channel. On this tab, select the checkboxes of the users to be allowed to subscribe systems to this channel and click <guibutton>Update</guibutton>. Note that &OA;s and Channel Administrators automatically have subscription access to all channels. </para> </listitem> Fixed in revision 5-7. LKB
