Granting authority to access namelists

Grant the authority to access a namelist or set of namelists, to each group of users with a business need for it.

About this task

To grant the authority to access some namelists, use the appropriate commands for your operating system.

On Multiplatforms platforms, you can also use the SET AUTHREC command.

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

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

  
  setmqaut -m QMgrName -n 
  ObjectProfile -t namelist -g GroupName
  +all
  

• For IBM i, issue the following command:

  
  GRTMQMAUT OBJ('ObjectProfile
  ') OBJTYPE(*NMLIST) USER(GroupName) AUT(*ALL) MQMNAME('
  QMgrName')
  

• For z/OS®, issue the following commands:

  
  RDEFINE MQNLIST 
  QMgrName.ObjectProfile UACC(NONE)
  PERMIT QMgrName.ObjectProfile
  CLASS(MQNLIST) ID(GroupName) ACCESS(READ)
