Granting authority to subscribe to topics

Grant the authority to subscribe to a topic or set of topics, to each group of users with a business need for it.

To grant the authority to subscribe to some topics, use the appropriate commands for the operating system. On the following platforms, we can also use the SET AUTHREC command:

• IBM i
• Linux
• UNIX
• Windows

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

Procedure

• For UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems, issue the following command:

  setmqaut -m QMgrName -n ObjectProfile -t topic -g GroupName +sub
  

• For IBM i, issue the following command:

  GRTMQMAUT OBJ(' ObjectProfile ') OBJTYPE(*TOPIC) USER(GroupName) AUT(*SUB) MQMNAME(' QMgrName ')
  

• For z/OS, issue the following commands:

  RDEFINE MQTOPIC QMgrName.SUBSCRIBE. ObjectProfile UACC(NONE)
  PERMIT QMgrName.SUBSCRIBE. ObjectProfile CLASS(MQTOPIC) ID(GroupName) ACCESS(UPDATE)
  

  The variable names have the following meanings:

  QMgrName

  The name of the queue manager. On z/OS, this value can also be the name of a queue sharing group.

  ObjectProfile

  The name of the object or generic profile for which to change authorizations.
