Access control
The access control service protects critical resources
in a system by limiting access only to authorized users and their applications.
It prevents the unauthorized use of a resource or the use of a resource in
an unauthorized manner.
Here are some examples of the access control service in a WebSphere MQ environment:
- Allowing only an authorized administrator to issue commands to manage WebSphere MQ resources.
- Allowing an application to connect to a queue manager only if the user
ID associated with the application is authorized to do so.
- Allowing a user's application to open only those queues that are necessary
for its function.
- Allowing a user's application to perform only those operations on a queue
that are necessary for its function. For example, an application might need
only to browse messages on a particular queue, and not to put or get messages.
