Authorization in IBM MQ

We can use authorization to limit what particular individuals or applications can do in your IBM MQ environment.

• Allowing only an authorized administrator to issue commands to manage IBM MQ resources.
• Allowing an application to connect to a queue manager only if the user ID associated with the application is authorized to do so.
• Allowing an application to open only those queues that are necessary for its function.
• Allowing an application to subscribe only to those topics that are necessary for its function.
• Allowing an application to perform only those operations on a queue that are necessary for its function. For example, an application might need only to browse messages on a particular queue, and not to put or get messages.

For more information on how you set up authorization, see Plan authorization and the associated sub-topics.
