From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461; Q312461) Description of problem: 1) I would like some additional user options so that I (as an Enterprise administrator) can: a) Prevent a user from viewing errata/packages that are available for his machine (in the system tray applet). b) Prevent a user from manually downloading/installing errata and packages (by launching "up2date") This would allow me to prevent a user from viewing and/or attempting to install errata and packages. In my case, I want to fully control what is installed on the user's system and do not want to allow him to initiate (or even see) any errata/packages that are available. 2) I would also like an additional option that would allow me (as an administrator) to specify the following for a user: a) Only allow a user to view/download/install the errata and packages that I specify for him. or b) Allow a user to view/download/install everything. This is how RHN Enterprise currently works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Enterprise How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. NA 2. 3. Additional info:
Reassigning bugs from gdk (old RHN engineering Manager) to tsanders (current RHN engineering manager)
This has overlap with bug 248475. The other bug though only talks about preventing client side, up2date/yum from pulling down content if system is 'locked'. This bug goes further in asking for UI lock down also. Cliff
NACKing this. We aren't going to be implementing this directly. Maintenence windows may help and if a customer feels strongly about this specific use case above we can re-open.
