How to change the MQ qmgr error log file permission to allow user not in mqm group could access it

If you would like to allow user in non mqm user group to access the qmgr error log, you may try to modify the file and directory permission for the non mqm user group. However you will find after qmgr updating the content of the qmgr error log or qmgr restart, the qmgr sets all the files and folder permission back to the default setting. The non mqm user can’t access the error log again. To solve this issue, you need to use the following parameter in the qm.ini file.

Filesystem:ValidateAuth=No

This setting will cause the queue manager to leave the permissions on the error log files unaltered.
