Fix Recommendation

For all process resources (i.e., ssid.processname) defined to MQPROC resource class, ensure access authorization restricts access to users requiring the ability to make
process inquiries. This is difficult to determine. However, an item for concern may be a profile with * READ specified in the access list.

NOTE: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier).

The following is a sample of the commands required to allow a user (USER1) to inquire on processes beginning with the letter V on queue manager (QM1):

TSS ADD(USER1) FAC(QM1MSTR)
TSS PER(USER1) MQPROC(QM1.V) ACC(READ)
ACTION(AUDIT)
