How to modify permission for queue on MS MQ

Recently, a request was made to modify the permission on a queue on MS MQ. Has been administering IBM Websphere MQ so this one is new to me.

Failed attempt



Open up Computer Management console, navigated to the queues under services and application, right click to the security properties and started tweaking.


Ops. System says "Access to Message Queuing System is denied" that essential mean i do not have the rights. Probably administrator account was not used to create the queues? So how?

Found the solution!


Turn out that i just need to click "Advanced" from the security tab, then go to the owner tab, take over control using administrator account, apply and ok. Going back to assign permission to the queue now is OK.

Done. :D
