Setting Up and Maintaining Queues
14.6 Using Queue Options
Access
Type Gives you the right to...
Delete Delete a job in the queue or modify the elements of a job.
Manage Affect any job in the queue. You can start, stop, or delete a queue and change
its status and any elements that are unrelated to security.
Control Modify the protection elements and owner of a queue.
Note that when a process receives read or delete access through a protection code,
it can operate on only its job in the queue. However, when granted through an
ACL, read and delete access allow a process to operate on all jobs in the queue.
Privileges Required
You need SYSNAM and OPER privilege to stop or start the queue manager.
OPER is necessary to create and delete queues, or to change the symbiont
definition.
Kinds of Auditing Performed
The following events can be audited, provided the security administrator enables
auditing for the event class:
Event
Audited Audit Occurs When...
Access A job is submitted to the queue and when either a job or queue is modified.
Creation A queue is initialized.
Deletion A process deletes a job from the queue or when the queue itself is deleted.
(To enable auditing for queue deletions, enable auditing for manage [M]
access to the queue.)
For more information about queue security, refer to the OpenVMS Guide to
System Security.
