Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.3.0 Reference Manual page 149

• Configuration Administrator — This role enables the user to manage the configuration of systems
in the organization using either the RHN Satellite web-based interface or the Red Hat Network
Configuration Manager.
• Monitoring Administrator — This role allows for the scheduling of probes and oversight of other
Monitoring infrastructure. This role is available only on Monitoring-enabled RHN Satellite version 3.6
or later.
• Satellite Administrator — This role can perform any function available within Red Hat Network. As
the master account for your organization, the person holding this role can alter the privileges of all
other accounts, as well as conduct any of the tasks available to the other roles. Like the other roles,
multiple Satellite Administrators may exist.
• System Group Administrator — This role is one step below Satellite Administrator in that it has
complete authority over the systems and system groups to which it is granted access. This person
can create new system groups, delete any assigned systems groups, add systems to groups, and
manage user access to groups.
While it is possible for one Satellite Administrator to remove Satellite Administrator rights from
another user, it is impossible to remove Satellite Administrator rights from the sole remaining Satellite
Administrator. It is possible to remove your own Satellite Administrator privileges so long as you are
not the last Satellite Administrator.
To assign a user a new role, select the appropriate checkbox. Remember that Satellite Administrators
are automatically granted administration access to all other roles, signified by grayed-out checkboxes.
To grant a user the ability to manage the configuration of systems, select the Configuration
Administrator checkbox. When satisfied with the changes, click Update.
7.9.1.1.2. User List Active User Details System Groups —
This tab displays a list of system groups that the user may administer. Satellite Administrators may use
the check boxes to set this user's access permissions to each system group. Check or uncheck the
box to the left of the system group and click the Update Permissions button to save the changes.
Satellite Administrators may select one or more default system groups for this user. When the user
registers a system, that system is assigned to the selected group or groups. This allows the user to
have access to the newly-registered system immediately, if he or she has permissions to one or more
of the groups to which the system is assigned. System Groups to which this user has access are
preceded by an (*).
7.9.1.1.3. User List Active User Details Systems —
This tab lists all systems to which the user has access permission. These systems come from the
system groups assigned to the user on the previous tab. You may choose a set of systems to work
with by checking the boxes to the left of the systems and clicking the Update List button. Use the
System Set Manager page to execute actions on those systems. Clicking the name of a system takes
you to its System Details page. Refer to Section 7.4.2.9, "System Details"
