3.2. Locations
Locations divide organizations into logical groups based on geographical location.
Each location must be created and used by a single Red Hat customer account, however each account can manage multiple locations and organizations.
By default, Red Hat Satellite will have one location already created, called
Default
, which can be modified to suit your own installation, or deleted.
Important
If a new user is not assigned a default location their access will be limited. To grant the user systems rights, assign them a default location and have them log out and log back in again.
