IT38478: In MQ 9105, the output message of dmpmqaut with -p and -e optionwas misleading when authority is defined at the group level.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Assuming below authority is provided to the queue and an user
  'testuser' is part of 'wmqgrp' group:
  
  profile:     SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE
  object type: queue
  entity:      wmqgrp
  entity type: group
  authority:   none
  - - - - - - - -
  
  profile:     SYSTEM.**
  object type: queue
  entity:      wmqgrp
  entity type: group
  authority:   put
  
  When below dmpmqaut command is run :
  
  dmpmqaut -m QMGRNAME -t queue -n SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE -p
  testuser -e
  
  The output would be :
  Entity has no authority to object. Run dmpmqaut without '-e' to
  view profiles
  
  
  The above message printed was found to be misleading and
  requires clarity.
