6.6.1.6. Software Channel Details
If you click on the name of a channel, the Software Channel Details page appears. This page is
broken down into the following tabs:
6.6.1.6.1. Software Channel Details
General information about the channel and the parent channel, if it is a child channel. This is the first
tab displayed when you click on a channel. It displays essential information about the channel, such as
summary, description, and architecture.
—In addition, a Globally Subscribable checkbox can be seen by Satellite Administrators and Channel
Administrators. This signifies the default behavior of every channel allowing any user to subscribe
systems to it. Unchecking this box and clicking Update causes the appearance of a Subscribers
tab, which may then be used to grant certain users subscription permissions to the channel. Satellite
Administrators and Channel Administrators can always subscribe systems to any channel.
— Only customers with custom base channels may change their systems' base channel assignment.
They may do this through the website in two ways:
• Customers with a custom base channel may assign the system to that base channel.
• Customers may revert system subscriptions from a custom base channel to the appropriate
distribution-based base channel.
Note
The system base channel's distribution variant must match the variant installed on
the system. For example, a system that has Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS v.4 for x86
cannot be registered to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES v.4 for x86 base channel.
6.6.1.6.2. Software Channel Details
List of Errata affecting the channel. The list displays advisory types, names, summaries, and the dates

List of packages in the channel. To download packages as a .tar file, select them and click the
Download Packages button at the bottom-left corner of the page. Clicking on a package name
takes you to the Package Details page. This page displays a set of tabs with information about
the package, including which architectures it runs on, the package size, build date, package
dependencies, the change log, list of files in the package, newer versions, and which systems have
the package installed. From here, you can download the packages as RPMs or SRPMs.
