MCAUSER( ) channel attribute sets the identify of the process/thread of that channel. The identity specified will be used to determine if the message channel agent has authority to open the queues and get/put messages.
Changing the attribute to 'nobody' or some other user with no authorities to open queues or get/put message will have a negative impact on the business.
Do some research on google or here on MCAUSER and CHLAUTH.

Nothing will happen.
Until someone tries to use the channel. |

Users who've been abusing this channel to remotely adminsiter your queue manager without your knowledge will no longer be able to do so.
Users who've been using the queues on the queue manager legitimately but have not bothered to set up the security they need will no longer be able to do so.
If you set it to nobody, then even legitimate users who've been using the queues on the queue manager with security set up will no longer be able to do so.
If you set it to some other user, users who want to do something that this other user is not allowed to do will no longer be able to do so.

The 'nobody' special value is not known to all o/s platforms.

the mcauser on the channel is not necessarily used when chlauth rules are in place. |

Or if a Security Exit is in use and configured to override the MCAUSER.
So, changing the MCAUSER can have a huge impact. Or zero impact.

So, in summary, it depends.
