| Is there are way to give authorisation to MQ objects generically? I am trying to give read only authorisation to MQ objects for currently, we have to run the setmqaut for every new object created. |

| with generic profiles we would be giving for existing objects. The requirement is such that if a queue gets created, without running the setmqaut for a particular Id, the Id must have the authorisations like other queues |

And for future objects that match that naming pattern.

So, you want ID myuser1 to be authorised to queue U1.1234, and when you define queue U1.5678, you also want that user to be authorised - generic profile U1.** will achieve that. However, if all your queues are to be uniquely named you are going to have to run setmqaut each and every time.

U1.0001
U1.0002
.
.
.
.
U1.9999
...are all uniquely named. And one rule will cover them all whether they already exist or are yet to be defined.

I'll qualify what I meant by unique...
AOIFERIOFRH
FHMHDPONJD
JNDEUIWIOK
They were random bashes on the keyboard and would be impossible to cover within a generic profile, however:
U1.AOIFERIOFRH
U1.FHMHDPONJD
U1.JNDEUIWIOK
Could be covered with a generic profile. And, admittedly, the above is probably not the best example that can be offered.

Well, not impossible.

ok, we currently do not follow a pattern in naming the queues, so I had given the authority with '**'
i.e
setmqaut -m qmgr -n '**' -t queue -g supp +browse +dsp +inq
and dmpmqaut output is like below
profile: **
object type: queue
entity: supp
entity type: group
authority: browse inq dsp
then I run a
dis ql(*) ---> all the queues get listed, which seems perfect. But when I run dis ql for a specific q, I get a "AMQ8135"  |

Working as advertised. Have a look at the requirements on how to make MQ Explorer read-only, it will give you the necessary clues to diagnose where you're going wrong, and how to fix it - a good learning opportunity.

Except that MQ authorizations should always be provided by group name, not user name.....

I really should be more pedantic where auths are concerned...

 You should introducing a naming standard ASAP. It will pay dividends in the long run. You are being caught out right now by not already having one.

This includes authority to all the SYSTEM.** queues, including the queue that stores all OAM authority profiles. Do you really want that?
