I need to set MQ authorizations for a group of NT operators. They should not have any access to messages on queues, but they should be able to start and stop MQ processes: The various services, channel initiators, specific channels, and so on. Also, they need authorizations to update attributes of some of the objects.

The problem is that there seems to be no separation of admins and operators in the OAM. An operator has to be in the mqm or administrators groups in order to start/stop channels, and this gives her complete authority on all the queue manager objects.

This is from the "Programmable System Management" book:
Quote:

To process any of the following commands the user ID must belong to group mqm. Note: For Windows NT only the user ID may belong to group Administrators or group mqm.

Change Channel
Copy Channel
Create Channel
Delete Channel
Ping Channel
Reset Channel
Start Channel
Stop Channel
Start Channel Initiator
Start Channel Listener
Resolve Channel

This is a really good question. I don't yet have a good answer but a thought struck me and I quickly killed it because it is a disasterous idea.

Once upon a time, I removed the group mqm from the authorization list because I didn't want the default security settings. I broke my queue manager solidly. Please don't ever think you can remove this group.

Have a look at supportpac MSOE.

I haven't used it myself but it looks like the sort of thing you're after.

Regards,
Tony.
