Security - Minimum Access Needed

Security wise , only minimum access should be granted always.

iib_createqueues.sh grants excessive authorities to broker against MQ without documentation of where those authorities are needed.

Testing is needed to determine minimum authorities required and to update documentation of where they are actually required. At the moment , those could only be needed during the initial creation or for specific functionalities after. Could you please check?

    Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request. We agree that this is a valid suggestion and would be a helpful improvement, but unfortunately is currently a low business priority. Currently, the out of the box settings for App Connect Enterprise in general are aimed at getting up and running in lower environments quickly, rather than necessarily being optimized for production usage (where the product's configuration might be expected to be more locked down by default, requiring manual relaxation of settings). If a change in this OOTB strategy were to be made, then it is likely this area would receive attention at that time. We will continue to monitor this enhancement for comments / votes from the community. Status updated to Future Consideration.
