Authorizations for MQSC commands in escape PCFs on IBM® i

These authorizations allow a user to issue administration commands as an escape PCF message. These methods allow a program to send an administration command as a message to a queue manager, for execution on behalf of that user.

This section summarizes the authorizations needed for each MQSC command contained in Escape PCF.

Not applicable means that authorization checking is not relevant to this operation.

The user ID under which the program that submits the command is running must also have the following authorities:
  • MQZAO_CONNECT authority to the queue manager
  • DISPLAY authority on the queue manager in order to perform PCF commands
  • Authority to issue the MQSC commands within the text of the Escape PCF command

Note:
  1. For DEFINE commands, MQZAO_DISPLAY authority is also needed for the LIKE object if one is specified, or on the appropriate SYSTEM.DEFAULT.xxx object if LIKE is omitted.
  2. The MQZAO_CREATE authority is not specific to a particular object or object type. Create authority is granted for all objects for a specified queue manager, by specifying an object type of QMGR on the GRTMQMAUT command.
  3. This option applies if the object to be replaced already exists. If it does not, the check is as for DEFINE object NOREPLACE.
