Hi!

There is a new "MQ administrator" here (but he is still learning MQ) and we need him to view queues and channels status but never modify them.

The question is:

We´ve tried to deny admin authorization and it is working like expected for queues, BUT NOT FOR CHANNELS.

I saw some posts that let us know about MCAUSER and permissions to applications connect/put/get messages and I understood why admin authority for channels is not necessary (that´s why there is nothing for channels on setmqaut), but I need something different:

Is there a way to protect channels definitions, so the new administrator can not change a conname but can see the channel status? (It´s like a read only access).

Hope I made myself clear

Probably not with runmqsc or anything that uses standard MQ authorities, no.

Some of the professional management packages should let you lock someone down this way.

But you're probably not running one of those...

It may be possible to put in Malammik's "free" solution, and configure it in a browse only mode.

Carla, are you familiar with the MO71 Support Pack?

Get it, and configure a SVRCONN channel on each of your QM's called MO71.VIEW.ONLY, or something like that.

On each MO71.VIEW.ONLY channel, hardcode the mcauser to MO71VIEW.

On each server, make a MO71VIEW group, and put an MO71VIEW user in there.
Then run the following commands on each QM:

Code:

•   setmqaut –m YourQMName –t qmgr –g MO71VIEW +dsp +inq +connect
•   setmqaut –m YourQMName –n *.** –t q –g MO71VIEW +dsp +inq +browse
•   setmqaut –m YourQMName –n *.** –t nl –g MO71VIEW +dsp +inq
•   setmqaut –m YourQMName –n *.** –t prcs –g MO71VIEW +dsp +inq
•   setmqaut –m YourQMName –n SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE –t q –g MO71VIEW +dsp +inq +put
•   setmqaut –m YourQMName –n SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE –t q –g MO71VIEW +allmqi +dsp


When your new guy uses MO71 to connect to the QM over the MO71.VIEW.ONLY channel, he can't hurt anything, not even channels. He can only look.

Thanks Peter, Jeff!

Yes, I have MQMON here but I didn´t know how to configure it to my needs...

I will try to create a SVRCONN and configure it as you said.
It seems to be a good way!

Thanks again.
