Chapter 7. Enabling simple content access with Red Hat Subscription Management
The process of enabling simple content access in Red Hat Subscription Management includes enabling simple content access for the directly connected systems in your organization. After simple content access is enabled, you then complete additional, post-enablement steps related to activation key, host group, and host configuration.
7.1. Enabling simple content access for your Red Hat Subscription Management managed systems
When you enable simple content access, you change the content access mode. You stop using the traditional mode, where you must attach a subscription to a system as a prerequisite of gaining access to content. You start using a new mode, where you can consume content regardless of the presence of an attached subscription.
Prerequisites
- The organization administrator (org admin) role for the organization
Procedure
To enable simple content access for the directly connected systems in Red Hat Subscription Management:
- Log in to the Red Hat Customer Portal.
- On the Overview page, set the Simple content access for Red Hat Subscription Management switch in the banner to Enabled.
After you complete these steps, simple content access is enabled for all current and newly registered systems. Current systems will download the required simple content access certification information the next time that they check in to the subscription management services.
