Administering authorization permissions

Use these tasks to to administer the roles containing the authorization permissions that allow users to access a bus and its resources when messaging security is switched on.

Why and when to perform this task

When a bus is created, an initial set of authorization permissions is created that allows all authenticated users to connect to the bus, and grants them full access to all local destinations on the bus. To restrict access to a specific set of users, you need to change the initial set of permissions using the command in the tasks listed below. For guidance on the types of change that you may need to make, refer to Planning your security requirements.

Tip: You can make changes to authorization permissions with messaging security switched on or off. Any changes that you make when security is disabled will not have any effect until security is switched on as described in Enabling and disabling messaging security.

The following syntax is used for the commands. For details of the command properties, see the topics listed below.
