8.3.15. ACL Definition Examples

Most ACL files begin by defining groups:
group admin ted@QPID martin@QPID
group user-consume martin@QPID ted@QPID
group group2 kim@QPID user-consume rob@QPID
group publisher group2 \
tom@QPID andrew@QPID debbie@QPID
Rules in an ACL file grant or deny specific permissions to users or groups:
acl allow carlt@QPID create exchange name=carl.*
acl allow rob@QPID create queue
acl allow guest@QPID bind exchange name=amq.topic routingkey=stocks.rht.#
acl allow user-consume create queue name=tmp.*

acl allow publisher publish all durable=false
acl allow publisher create queue name=RequestQueue
acl allow consumer consume queue durable=true
acl allow fred@QPID create all
acl allow bob@QPID all queue
acl allow admin all
acl allow all consume queue
acl allow all bind exchange
acl deny all all
In the previous example, the last line, acl deny all all, denies all authorizations that have not been specifically granted. This is the default, but it is useful to include it explicitly on the last line for the sake of clarity. If you want to grant all rights by default, you can specify acl allow all all in the last line.
Do not allow guest to access and log QMF management methods that could cause security breaches:
group allUsers guest@QPID
....
acl deny-log allUsers create link
acl deny-log allUsers access method name=connect
acl deny-log allUsers access method name=echo
acl allow all all
