Fix Recommendation

The IAO will ensure that a ssid.RESLEVEL profile is only defined for each queue manager.

Ensure the following items are in effect:

NOTE: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier).

1) A RESLEVEL resource (i.e., ssid.RESLEVEL) is defined for each queue manager to TYPE(MQA) (i.e., MQADMIN resource class) with a default access of PREVENT.
2) Access authorization to these RESLEVEL resources restricts all access. No users are permitted access to ssid.RESLEVEL resources.

Example:

$KEY(ssid) TYPE(MQA)
RESLEVEL UID(*) PREVENT
