About this task
As a user without administrative rights, you can create a single-user installation of IBM Integration Bus in your home directory. This single-user installation is then accessible only by your user ID.
As a user with administrative rights, you can create a shared installation of IBM Integration Bus. To authorize any users of the computer to access the shared installation of IBM Integration Bus, add the users to the mqbrkrs group by using the security facilities that are provided by your operating system.
If you deploy IBM Integration Bus for a single user, you can convert the deployment to a shared installation later, see Converting from a single-user installation of IBM Integration Bus to a shared installation of IBM Integration Bus.
