Local users and user groups

You can define local users and local user groups on your appliance

You can configure role based management so that user authentication is set up for local users. You can also specify that local users are used as fall back when a remote authentication platform is unavailable (ensuring that someone can always log on to the appliance). You can separately specify that local user groups are used for credential mapping. You can use this setting for local user authentication, or any of the other authentication methods available.

Appliance users are created by using the appliance user commands or the Appliance section of the IBM® MQ Appliance web UI

Local users can belong to locally defined user groups. User privileges are then defined according to the group that they belong to.
