HiveMQ Cloud Starter – Control Center Access

Question

Does HiveMQ Cloud Starter allow access to the HiveMQ Control Center?

Answer

Yes, HiveMQ Cloud Starter supports access to the HiveMQ Control Center for the associated broker cluster. However, access is exclusively granted to the owner of the HiveMQ Cloud Starter cluster.

Question

Why is access to the HiveMQ Control Center restricted to only the owner of the HiveMQ Cloud Starter cluster?

Answer

This limitation is by design for the HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan. The Control Center is accessible only to the owner of the cluster, while other users, including admins, do not have access to the Control Center.

Question

Can admin users be assigned the owner role to access the Control Center?

Answer

Currently, it is not possible to assign the owner role to admin users within the HiveMQ Cloud Starter cluster. The owner role is limited to the user who originally created the cluster, and only one owner is supported.

Question

Can additional users be granted access to the Control Center with restricted permissions, such as view-only access?

Answer

Unfortunately, the HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan does not support granting restricted access to the Control Center. Only the owner has access to the Control Center, and no other roles, including view-only access, are available.

Question

What options are available if multiple users need access to the Control Center in a project using HiveMQ Cloud Starter?

Answer

For projects requiring broader access to the Control Center, the HiveMQ Cloud Enterprise plan offers a solution. The Enterprise plan supports role-based access control (RBAC) and allows multiple users to access the Control Center with varying permissions. It also supports various sign-in methods, such as OIDC and OAuth. For a tailored solution and quote, please contact the HiveMQ team here.
