Granting authority to put messages to a local queue

Grant the authority to put messages to a local queue or set of queues, to each group of users with a business need for it.

About this task

To grant the authority to put messages to some local queues, 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

• For UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems, issue the following command:

  setmqaut -m QMgrName -n ObjectProfile -t queue -g GroupName +put
  

• For IBM i, issue the following command:

  GRTMQMAUT OBJ(' ObjectProfile ') OBJTYPE(*Q) USER(GroupName) AUT(*PUT) MQMNAME(' QMgrName ')
  

• For z/OS, issue the following commands:

  RDEFINE MQQUEUE QMgrName. ObjectProfile UACC(NONE)
  PERMIT QMgrName. ObjectProfile CLASS(MQQUEUE) ID(GroupName) ACCESS(UPDATE)

  QMgrName

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