Managing user group visibility to options

Event Endpoint Management 11.6.3 icon In Event Endpoint Management 11.6.3 and later, you can manage which options are available to users by assigning specific user groups to selected options. This means that only users in the groups you select can view and subscribe to the options that you have specified.

User group visibility to options requires an external identity provider, such as Keycloak, capable of managing user groups. When Event Endpoint Management connects to your external identity provider, it suggests groups that are already in use, or that you belong to. You can then select one or more of these user groups to add to options.

Important: Not all groups that are defined in the external identity provider are displayed. Only a filtered list based on the user’s membership and option associations.

To manage which user groups can view and subscribe to the option in the catalog after you have published it, you can assign user groups when you create an option or through the User groups page.

The User groups page displays all the options that are visible to user groups. You can use the User groups page to add and edit user groups.

  1. Log in to the Event Endpoint Management UI with your login credentials.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Manage > User groups.
