Granting full administrative access to some topics

Grant full administrative access to some topics on a queue manager, to each group of users with a business need for it.


To grant full administrative access to some topics for some actions, use the appropriate commands for the operating system. On the following platforms, we can also use the SET AUTHREC command:

  • IBM i
  • Linux
  • UNIX
  • Windows

Note: On IBM MQ Appliance we can use only the SET AUTHREC command.


Procedure

  • On UNIX, Linux, and Windows:
    setmqaut -m QMgrName -n ObjectProfile -t topic -g GroupName +alladm
    
  • On IBM i:
    GRTMQMAUT OBJ(' ObjectProfile ') OBJTYPE(*TOPIC) USER(GroupName) AUT(ALLADM) MQMNAME(' QMgrName ')
    
  • On z/OS :
    RDEFINE MQADMIN QMgrName.TOPIC. ObjectProfile UACC(NONE)
    PERMIT QMgrName.TOPIC. ObjectProfile CLASS(MQADMIN) ID(GroupName) ACCESS(ALTER)
    
    The variable names have the following meanings:

      QMgrName
      The name of the queue manager.

      On z/OS, this value can also be the name of a queue sharing group.

      ObjectProfile
      The name of the object or generic profile for which to change authorizations.

      GroupName
      The name of the group to be granted access.
