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 of problem:
The help message for subscription-manager orgs -help says:
Display the orgs available for a user
Then when I run subscription-manager orgs --username=magoo --password=password I get :
magoo cannot register to any organizations.
What is questionable is the wording of the term "register" in the response. In my call to orgs, I did not ask if the user could register, I simply asked it to "Display the orgs available for a user".
Possible solutions...
1. change the usage help to say:
Display the organizations to which a user has permission to register.
2. change the output from orgs to include the "access" value for the orgs to which this user has any defined role. For example:
# subscription-manager orgs --username=magoo --password=password
+-------------------------------------------+
magoo Organizations
+-------------------------------------------+
OrgName: Snow White
OrgKey: snowwhite
Access: READ_ONLY
OrgName: Admin Owner
OrgKey: admin
Access: READ_ONLY
OrgName: Donald Duck
OrgKey: donaldduck
Access: READ_ONLY
While solution 1 is simple, there is merit in the extra information implied in solution 2. The fact that solution 2 displays orgs for which magoo has READ_ONLY access would justify why magoo cannot register using these orgs.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-onprem-62server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.96.4-1.git.50.9f8a6ae.el6.x86_64
Moving the bug to verified..
The usage help now says :
Display the orgs against which a user can register a system.
RPM used:
subscription-manager-0.96.6-1.git.1.b3b3fce.el6.x86_64
Steps to reproduce :
subscription-manager orgs --help
Usage: subscription-manager orgs [OPTIONS]
Display the orgs against which a user can register a system
