Linux Setup Console File Permissions

[Syko80]

Describe the bug
Only tested on Linux The /var/mqm/web/installations/Installation1/servers/mqweb/mqwebuser.xml file is copied with the root group instead of mqm, this then means that the setmqweb command fails.

To Reproduce
Run the installation including the setupconsole role

Expected behaviour
The file should be copied or permissions set with the mqm owner and mqm group

Screenshots

Currently deploys as root group

Tell us the platform and version of the machine that ansible is being run on:
Ansible Automation Platform Controller 4.5.12

Tell us the version of ansible being used:
ansible [core 2.18.1]

Tell us the platforms and versions of the machines that the playbook is targetting (Usually supplied in an inventory file):
Linux jcs-mq-001 6.8.0-1017-azure #20-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 22 03:43:13 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Additional context
With permissions I could branch and code the fix....!!?

However this is the update required

roles/setupconsole/tasks/Linux_setupconsole.yml
