Chapter 17. Managing containers by using the RHEL web console

You can use the Red Hat Enterprise Linux web console to manage your containers and pods. With the web console, you can create containers as a non-root or root user.

  • As a root user, you can create system containers with extra privileges and options.

  • As a non-root user, you have two options:

    • To only create user containers, you can use the web console in its default mode - Limited access.
    • To create both user and system containers, click Administrative access in the top panel of the web console page.

For details about differences between root and rootless containers, see Special considerations for rootless containers.
