2. Management
In addition to the features offered in the RHN Update subscription level, the RHN Management
subscription service allows you to manage your network of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems,
users, and system groups through its System Set Manager interface.
RHN Management is based upon the concept of an organization. Each Management-level Red
Hat customer has the ability to establish users who have administration privileges to system
groups. An Organization Administrator has overall control over each Red Hat Network
organization with the ability to add and remove systems and users. When users other than the
Satellite Administrator log into the Red Hat Network website, they see only the systems they
have permission to administer.
To create an account that can be used to entitle systems to RHN Management, go to

and click on the Create Login link under the Sign In fields. On the
Create a Red Hat Login page, click Create a new Business Login. After creating a business
account, you may add users within your organization to it.
The Red Hat Network features available to you depend on the subscription level for each Red
Hat Enterprise Linux system. With each Management subscription, you receive the functionality
provided to Update users, plus:
• Package Profile Comparison — Compare the package set on a system with the package sets
of similar systems with one click.
• Search Systems — Search through systems based on a number of criteria: packages,
networking information, even hardware asset tags.
• System Grouping — Web servers, database servers, workstations and other
workload-focused systems may be grouped so that each set can be administered in common
ways.
• Multiple Administrators — Administrators may be given rights to particular system groups,
easing the burden of system management over very large organizations.
• System Set Manager — You may now apply actions to sets of systems instead of single
systems, work with members of a predefined system group, or work with an ad-hoc collection
of systems. Install a single software package to each, subscribe the systems to a new
channel, or apply all Errata to them with a single action.
• Batch Processing — Compiling a list of outdated packages for a thousand systems would
take days for a dedicated sysadmin. Red Hat Network Management service can do it for you
in seconds.
