Authority to work with WebSphere MQ objects

Applications can access the following WebSphere MQ objects by issuing MQI calls:

Applications can also use Programmable Command Format (PCF) commands

to access these WebSphere MQ objects, and to access authentication information objects as well. Applications can also use PCF commands to access channels, in addition to the objects listed above. These objects are protected by WebSphere MQ and the user IDs associated with the applications need authority to access them.

This is another aspect of access control. For more information, see Authority to work with WebSphere MQ objects.
