dspmqaut (display authority)

 

 

Purpose

Use the dspmqaut command to display the current authorizations to a specified object.

If a user ID is a member of more than one group, this command displays the combined authorizations of all the groups.

Only one group or principal can be specified.

For more information about authorization service components, see "Installable services", "Service components", and Chapter 20, Authorization service.

Required parameters

-n ObjectName
The name of a queue manager, queue, or process definition on which to make the inquiry.

You must include this parameter, unless the inquiry relates to the queue manager itself, in which case omit it.

-t ObjectType
The type of object on which to make the inquiry. Possible values are:

queue or q A queue or queues matching the object name parameter
qmgr A queue manager object
process or prcs A process
namelist or nl A namelist
authinfo Authentication information object, for use with SSL channel security

 

Optional parameters

-m queue_manager
The name of the queue manager on which to make the inquiry. This parameter is optional if you are setting the authorizations of your default queue manager.

-g GroupName
The name of the user group on which to make the inquiry. You can specify only one name, which must be the name of an existing user group. On Windows systems, you can use only local groups.

-p PrincipalName
The name of a user for whom to display authorizations to the specified object.

For WebSphere MQ for Windows only, the name of the principal can optionally include a domain name, specified in the following format:

userid@domain

For more information about including domain names on the name of a principal, see "Principals and groups".

-s ServiceComponent
If installable authorization services are supported, specifies the name of the authorization service to which the authorizations apply. This parameter is optional; if you omit it, the authorization inquiry is made to the first installable component for the service.

Returned parameters

Returns an authorization list, which can contain none, one, or more authorization values. Each authorization value returned means that any user ID in the specified group or principal has the authority to perform the operation defined by that value.

Table 21 shows the authorities that can be given to the different object types.

Examples

  • The following example shows a command to display the authorizations on queue manager saturn.queue.manager associated with user group staff:
    dspmqaut -m saturn.queue.manager -t qmgr -g staff
    

    The results from this command are:

    Entity staff has the following authorizations for object:
            get
            browse
            put
            inq
            set
            connect
            altusr
            passid
            passall
            setid
    

  • The following example displays the authorities user1 has for queue a.b.c:
    dspmqaut -m qmgr1 -n a.b.c -t q -p user1
    

    The results from this command are:

    Entity user1 has the following authorizations for object:
