5.2. Starting the Red Hat Network Registration Client

Red Hat Network
Registration Client
prompts you to enter the root password before proceeding.
Important
If your username is part of a larger organizational account, be cautious when
registering your systems. By default, all systems registered with the
Red Hat Network
Registration Client
end up in the Ungrouped section of systems visible only to
Satellite Administrators. To ensure that you retain management of these systems, Red
Hat recommends that your organization create an activation key associated with a
specific system group and grant you permissions to that group. You may then register
your systems using that activation key and find those System Profiles within RHN
immediately. Refer to
Section 2.5, “Registering with Activation Keys”
for instructions.
