Authorization for configuration tasks
Authorization is the process of granting or denying access to a system resource.
For IBM® Integration Bus, authorization is concerned with controlling who has permission to access integration nodes and their resources, and ensuring that users who attempt to work with them have the necessary permissions to do so.
Examples of tasks that require authorization are:
- Configuring an integration node; for example, by using the mqsicreatebroker command or the mqsichangebroker command
- Accessing queues; for example, putting a message to the input queue of a message flow.
- Taking actions within the IBM Integration Toolkit; for example, deploying a message flow to an integration server.
For information about authorizing user IDs to perform actions on an integration node and its resources, see Authorizing users for administration.
