Adding existing user IDs to the group

 

If you want to run administration commands, for example crtmqm (create queue manager) or strmqm (start queue manager), your user ID must be a member of the mqm group.

Users do not need mqm group authority to run applications that use the queue manager; it is needed only for the administration commands.

We can use smitty to add an existing user ID to the mqm group. Display the required menu using this sequence:

  Security & Users
    Users
      Change / Show Characteristics of a User

Enter the name of the user in the User Name field and press Enter. Add mqm to the Group SET field, which is a comma-separated list of the groups to which the user belongs. Users need not have their primary group set to mqm. Provided that mqm is in their set of groups, they can use the administration commands.
