Abstract
The present invention relates to a data processing system and method as well as to a computer program product for realizing such a data processing system and method. Conventionally, access to system resources is controlled within, for example, MQSeries, via security settings or security definition contained within profiles that are used to initialize a data processing system. Typically, each computer program or user has associated access permissions which may, from time to time, be varied by a system administrator. It will be appreciated that to issue on a resource by resource or user by user basis individual changes to access permission would require a significant amount of work. Suitably, the present invention provides a system and method for implementing grouping of security access control for a number of resources or users. Therefore, a single security change request can be used to effect a change of access permissions associated with a number of separate or at least closely coupled resources.
