<p>Cockpit can use
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.candlepinproject.org/" target="_top">Subscription Manager</a> to join the
attach the machine to a subscription, if the operating system (such as RHEL) requires this. This
functionality is in the Cockpit <span class="emphasis"><em>subscriptions</em></span> package.</p>
<p>Subscription Manager limits its use to root only. Therefore if a non-root user
is logged into Cockpit, Cockpit tries to <a class="link" href="privileges.html" title="Privileges and Permissions">escalate privileges</a>
to root in order to access subscription information or make changes.</p>
<p>To perform similar tasks from the command line, use the
<a class="ulink" href="http://linux.die.net/man/8/subscription-manager" target="_top"><code class="code">subscription-manager</code></a>
tool:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ <span class="command"><strong>sudo subscription-manager status</strong></span>
