Profiles for Context Security

If context security is active, you must define a profile in the MQADMIN class called:

qmgr-name.CONTEXT

where qmgr-name (queue manager name).

A profile prefixed by the queue manager name allows control for context security on that queue manager.

You must give the necessary groups or user IDs access to this profile. The following table shows the access level required, depending on the specification of the context options, when the queue is opened.
