Granting the authority to connect to a queue manager

Before a user can access a queue manager's objects, the user must connect to the queue manager. The user must, therefore, have authority to connect to that queue manager.


Any authorities granted to the user on the queue manager's objects are irrelevant unless the user can connect to the queue manager.

When you view the authority records of objects on a queue manager for which the user does not have Connect authority, the Find Accumulated Authorities dialog displays a message to warn you that the authorities will have no effect until you grant Connect authority to the user or to a group to which the user belongs.

To grant Connect authority for a queue manager to a user or group, complete the following steps.


Procedure

  1. In the Navigator view, right-click the queue manager, then click Object Authorities > Manage Queue Manager Authority Records... The Manage Authority Records dialog opens.
  2. Highlight the record for the user or group to which you want to add the Connect authority, then click Edit... The Edit Authorities dialog opens.
  3. Select the Connect check box, then click OK.


Results

The user now has Connect access to the queue manager. When the user accesses the queue manager's objects, the authorities that we have granted to the user take effect.
