I've just installed new Fedora 27 Server Edition and created admin user.
If I log with this user to cockpit (http://hostname:9090) I am able to connect to Terminal tab and do manual update, however if I try Software Updates or Applications, I see messages:
- Failed to obtain authentication.
- No applications installed or available
Can you please guide me, how to connect this cockpit app with admin account in order to use these features?
Does it have something to do with http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/authentication.html ?

I've figured it out. As I get from this address's comments https://fedoramagazine.org/cockpit-overview/, the admin user needs to be in all these user groups in order to fully work with cockpit:
Alternatively the root account can be used to perform system administrative tasks, such as update or install.
