Manage the mqm group on UNIX, Linux, and Windows

Users in the mqm group are granted full administrative privileges over IBM MQ . For this reason, we should not enrol applications and ordinary users in the mqm group. The mqm group should contain the accounts of the IBM MQ administrators only.

If your domain controller runs on Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 or later, your domain administrator might have to set up a special account for IBM MQ to use. For more information, see Configure IBM MQ with the Prepare IBM MQ Wizard and Create and setting up Windows domain accounts for IBM MQ.
