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.
