Chapter 1. Remediations overview After identifying the highest remediation priorities in your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) infrastructure, you can create, and then execute, remediation playbooks to fix those issues. Subscription requirements Red Hat Insights for Red Hat Enterprise Linux is included with every RHEL subscription. No additional subscriptions are required to use Insights remediation features. User requirements Access remediation capabilities in the Insights for Red Hat Enterprise Linux application on the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console (Hybrid Cloud Console). Access Red Hat Satellite-managed systems in the Console or in the Satellite application UI. All Insights users will automatically have access to read, create, and manage remediation playbooks. The ability to execute playbooks on remote systems requires the Remediations administrator predefined User Access role, granted by an Organization Administrator in Identity & Access Management settings on the Hybrid Cloud Console. 1.1. User Access settings in the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console User Access is the Red Hat implementation of role-based access control (RBAC). Your Organization Administrator uses User Access to configure what users can see and do on the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console (the console): Control user access by organizing roles instead of assigning permissions individually to users. Create groups that include roles and their corresponding permissions. Assign users to these groups, allowing them to inherit the permissions associated with their group's roles. 1.1.1. Predefined User Access groups and roles To make groups and roles easier to manage, Red Hat provides two predefined groups and a set of predefined roles. 1.1.1.1. Predefined groups The Default access group contains all users in your organization. Many predefined roles are assigned to this group. It is automatically updated by Red Hat. Note If the Organization Administrator makes changes to the Default access group its name changes to Custom default access group and it is no longer updated by Red Hat. The Default admin access group contains only users who have Organization Administrator permissions. This group is automatically maintained and users and roles in this group cannot be changed. On the Hybrid Cloud Console navigate to Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console > the Settings icon (⚙) > Identity & Access Management > User Access > Groups to see the current groups in your account. This view is limited to the Organization Administrator. 1.1.1.2. Predefined roles assigned to groups The Default access group contains many of the predefined roles. Because all users in your organization are members of the Default access group, they inherit all permissions assigned to that group. The Default admin access group includes many (but not all) predefined roles that provide update and delete permissions. The roles in this group usually include administrator in their name. On the Hybrid Cloud Console navigate to Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console > the Settings icon (⚙) > Identity & Access Management > User Access > Roles to see the current roles in your account. You can see how many groups each role is assigned to. This view is limited to the Organization Administrator. See User Access Configuration Guide for Role-based Access Control (RBAC) for additional information. 1.1.2. Access permissions The Prerequisites for each procedure list which predefined role provides the permissions you must have. As a user, you can navigate to Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console > the Settings icon (⚙) > My User Access to view the roles and application permissions currently inherited by you. If you try to access Insights for Red Hat Enterprise Linux features and see a message that you do not have permission to perform this action, you must obtain additional permissions. The Organization Administrator or the User Access administrator for your organization configures those permissions. Use the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console Virtual Assistant to ask "Contact my Organization Administrator". The assistant sends an email to the Organization Administrator on your behalf. 1.1.3. User Access roles for remediations users The following roles enable standard or enhanced access to remediations features in Insights for Red Hat Enterprise Linux: Remediations user. The Remediations user role is included in the Default access group. The Remediation user role permits access to view existing playbooks for the account and to create new playbooks. Remediations users cannot execute playbooks on systems. Remediations administrator. The Remediations administrator role permits access to all remediations capabilities, including remotely executing playbooks on systems.
