Description Jakub Steiner 2015-05-14 09:10:53 UTC 
Some controlled environments like a student computer lab would benefit from allowing administrators to lock down system updates to avoid issues like the one described in bug #749357

One day, in the bright future ahead of us, when we have applications separated from the OS, this might only apply to the OS itself, not the apps.
Comment 1 Rafal Luzynski 2015-06-13 17:23:25 UTC 
There has always been a mean to disable users from updating the software, one description is in bug 749744 comment #2, another at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1221517#c2  So basically there is no bug. But I mark this issue as a duplicate because the fix for a bug 749744 improves the GUI: hides the Updates page when the user has no permission to update.
