4.6.1.2. All Channels
The
All Channels
page can be retrieved by clicking
All
below
Channels
in the left navigation bar. It
works identically to the Relevant button with one exception; It displays all channels offered by Red
Hat Network, regardless of whether you have systems associated with them.
4.6.1.3. Channel Details
If you click on the name of a channel, the Channel Details page will appear. This page contains the
following tabs:
•
Details — General information about the channel and the parent channel, if it is a child channel.
This is the first tab you see 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 Organization 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.
Only customers with custom base channels may change their systems’ base channel assignment.
They may do this through the website in two ways:
•
The customer has its own base channel and it is assigning the system to that new base channel.
•
The customer has its own base channel and, having assigned a system to this base channel, it
subsequently reverts the system to its original distribution-based base channel.
