User roles for the Web Gateway

WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition has defined several different roles that control the actions a user can take.

You configure these roles on your application server, either before deploying the Web Gateway, or during deployment. For information about how to configure WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, including how to set up security roles, see Preparing to deploy the Web Gateway with WebSphere Application Server Community Edition. For information about how to deploy the Web Gateway on WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0, including how to set up security roles, see Deploying the Web Gateway with WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.

The following table lists the different roles and the level of access associated with each role:
Table 1. Roles and associated permissions
Role Description
wmqfte-agent-upload User can upload files to an agent
wmqfte-filespace-user User can list contents of their own file space
