If authentication and authorization are configured in Kafka, you can manage access control lists. If SCRAM authentication is set up, it can be managed by integrating with SCRAM credential management. ACL management is possible even if an authentication mechanism other than SCRAM is used.
Access control list
To view the access control list, use the Access Control List (ACLs) menu on the left side of the screen.
The list includes the following items:
- USER NAME. ID used when connecting to the client.
- PERMISSION. ALLOW or DENY.
- OPERATION. Actions to perform on that resource, such as READ, WRITE, CREATE, DESCRIBE, or DELETE.
- HOST. Hosts you want to allow or disallow access to.
- RESOURCE TYPE. Resources to allow or deny access, such as TOPIC, GROUP, CLUSTER, or TRANSACTIONAL_ID.
- RESOURCE NAME. The name of the resource (for example, the topic name or the consumer group name).
- MATCH. Resource name matching method: LITERAL or PREFIXED match.
