Groups

This section allows you to create, edit and delete the groups that define how your clients can interact with the MQTT broker. The existing groups are displayed in a table with the following columns:

  • Name
  • Description
  • ACL Permissions

What are groups?​

Groups are collections of permissions that define what topics clients can or cannot subscribe and publish to. They are identified by a name and a description. Groups are used in conjunction with group rules to control which clients can connect to the broker and which topics they are authorized to access.

Creating a new group​

To create a new group, click the "New group" button. You will then be redirected to a page where you can fill in the group's name, description and ACL permissions.

Editing a group​

To edit a group, click on the group's three-dot menu button and then select the "Edit" option.

Deleting a group​

To delete a group, click on the group's three-dot menu button and then select the "Delete" option.

Modification/Deletion Impact​

Editing or deleting groups will not immediately impact devices that are currently connected to the broker. However, these changes will take effect for the devices once they disconnect and attempt to reconnect.
