[Pulp-list] How to configure Pulp/RHEL Repository

I am currently looking into a patch/package management solution for my company.  We have a large RHEL and SLES environment.  I currently have a Spacewalk sever setup as a proof-of-concept with both CentOS and OpenSuSE configured.
I've looked at RH Satellite and SuSE Manger for possible patch/package management solutions. I'm not impressed with Satellite 6.  It no longer uses SW as and upstream source, however, I am impressed with SuSE Manager.  It sill uses SW as an upstream source and SuSE still heavily contributes to the project.  
The SuSE engineer told me that we can use SuSE Manager to manage both our RHEL and SLES environment.  However, in order to get RHEL patches/packages, I need to use Pulp to attach to a RHEL repository, pull down the patches/packages then have SW or similar get the patches/packages from Pulp.  
I followed the installation procedure, and I think that I have everything configured correctly, however, I'm not sure that I know how to connect to a RHEL repository. 
I'm guessing that I need to use "pulp-admin rpm repo create" command, is that correct?  I tried that command, but get the error: "The specified user does not have permission to execute the given command".   I'm running the command as root.  
Can someone please tell me what I am missing?  Do I not have the Pulp configured correctly?  I have just a basic install, no SSL configured, no multi-server configuration, just a basic Proof-of-Concept install.  I just want to make sure that this will work before I move forward with any specific package management system.
Thank you
