1.2. New Role-Based Access Control

JBoss A-MQ 6.2 has a new role-based access control (RBAC) feature, which is enabled by default in the container. The new RBAC system offers differentiated access to the container, depending on which roles have been assigned to a user. The RBAC imposes access controls on the Karaf console (so that only administrators can access the full range of commands and command options) and imposes access controls on the JMX protocol (so that access control is applied to the Fuse Management Console).

Table 1.2, “Standard Roles for Access Control” lists and describes the standard roles that are used throughout the JMX ACLs and the command console ACLs.

When migrating to JBoss A-MQ 6.2, you must modify your user data, so that users are assigned one of the standard roles from Table 1.2, “Standard Roles for Access Control”.
