The IsWorldReadable method is received by the server in an RPC_REQUEST packet. In response, the server returns a BOOLEAN that indicates whether the referenced queue is accessible to everyone, or only to the owner and the system administrators. This can be computed through the security descriptor in the Queue.Security attribute. The owner is the security principal that has MQSEC_TAKE_QUEUE_OWNERSHIP permissions for the Queue, as defined by the security descriptor in the refQueue.Security attribute.
