Displaying object authority settings as text

In IBM® MQ Explorer dialogs, object authorities are displayed as icons by default, but you can choose to have them displayed as text instead.

About this task

In the Manage Authority Records dialogs, and in other dialogs that display object authorities, the tables use icons to show whether an authority is granted. If you prefer, you can set the tables to use text instead of icons.

To change the tables to use text instead of icons to show whether an authority is granted, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Open the Preferences dialog: Window > Preferences
  2. Expand MQ Explorer.
  3. On the Authorization Service page, click Display authorities as text.
  4. Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.

Results

The next time that you open a dialog that displays object authorities, the tables will show authorities using text instead of icons.
