Controlling access (Windows only)

 

When you install WebSphere MQ, default access permissions are set up for the AMQMSRVN process. These default access permissions grant access to the process to:

• mqm (local WebSphere MQ administrators group)

• Administrators (local administrators of this machine) (Windows only)

These permissions restrict access to the alert monitor task bar application and the amqmdain command to these users and groups only. Other users trying to access these functions are denied access. The WebSphere MQ Explorer uses amqmdain to start and end queue managers. If the WebSphere MQ Explorer is run by a user not authorized to run amqmdain, then an error is reported when the user attempts to start or stop a queue manager.

Before users run the WebSphere MQ Explorer, configure the access permissions of the objects involved. Use a tool called DCOMCNFG.EXE, shipped with Windows systems, to do this.
