Understanding the Object Authority Manager

The OAM manages users' authorizations to manipulate WebSphere MQ objects, including queues and process definitions. It also provides a command interface through which we can grant or revoke access authority to an object for a specific group of users. The decision to allow access to a resource is made by the OAM, and the queue manager follows that decision. If the OAM cannot make a decision, the queue manager prevents access to that resource.
