Access roles

To control access to message queues and topics, add one or more access roles. If more than one access role is assigned to a message queue or topic, a client must possess only one of the roles to access the queue or topic. If a message queue or topic has no assigned roles, any client can access it.

Adding an access role

1. To add an access role to a message consumer, select the appropriate folder:

   Message consumer	Folder title
   Active queue	Active Queues
   Inactive queue	Configured Queues
   Active topic	Active Topics
   Inactive topic	Configured Topics

2. Select a queue or topic from the list, and select File | Add.

3. In the Properties dialog, select the Roles tab.

4. Click Add.

5. In the New Role dialog box, enter the role name. You can use a wildcard character (“*”) when the queue or topic does not require a specific role. For subtopics that do not require a specific role, the name can end with the wildcard character; for example “StockPrice.*”.

6. Select the role type:

   • Consumer To receive messages from the queue, or to receive messages with the specified topic.

   • Producer To publish or send messages to the queue, or to publish or send messages with the specified topic.

   • Security To administer roles for the message queue or topic.

7. Click OK.

Deleting an access role from a message queue or topic

   Inactive queue	Configured Queues

   Inactive topic	Configured Topics

2. Select a message queue or topic from the list, and select File | Properties.
