Authorizations for PCF commands on IBM i
These authorizations allow a user to issue administration commands as PCF commands. These methods allow a program to send an administration command as a message to a queue manager, for execution on behalf of that user.
This section summarizes the authorizations needed for each PCF command.
No check means that no authorization checking is carried out; Not applicable means that authorization checking is not relevant to this operation.
The user ID under which the program that submits the command is running must also have the following authorities:
- MQZAO_CONNECT authority to the queue manager
- DISPLAY authority on the queue manager in order to perform PCF commands
The special authorization MQZAO_ALL_ADMIN includes the following authorizations:
- MQZAO_CHANGE
- MQZAO_CLEAR
- MQZAO_DELETE
- MQZAO_DISPLAY
- MQZAO_CONTROL
- MQZAO_CONTROL_EXTENDED
MQZAO_CREATE is not included as it is not specific to a particular object or object type

Note:
- For Copy commands, MQZAO_DISPLAY authority is also needed for the From object.
- The MQZAO_CREATE authority is not specific to a particular object or object type. Create authority is granted for all objects for a specified queue manager, by specifying an object type of QMGR on the GRTMQMAUT command.
- For Create commands, MQZAO_DISPLAY authority is also needed for the appropriate SYSTEM.DEFAULT.* object.
- This option applies if the object to be replaced already exists. If it does not, the check is as for Copy or Create without replace.
