• IBM® i

Note: On IBM MQ Appliance we can use only the SET AUTHREC command.

  setmqaut -m QMgrName -n ObjectProfile -t channel -g GroupName +alladm

  GRTMQMAUT OBJ(' ObjectProfile ') OBJTYPE(*CHL) USER(GroupName) AUT(ALLADM) MQMNAME(' QMgrName ')
  

• On z/OS®:

  PERMIT QMgrName.CHANNEL. ObjectProfile CLASS(MQADMIN) ID(GroupName) ACCESS(ALTER)
