Managing virtual topic viewers

To access user groups in Event Endpoint Management, ensure that an admin for IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration has created user groups in the IBM SaaS Console.

After an administrator has created user groups, when Event Endpoint Management is set up, it retrieves user group information from the groups that are assigned to you in the IBM SaaS Console. You can then select one or more of these user groups to add to virtual topics.

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

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

To add a user group, complete the following steps:

1. Log in to the Event Endpoint Management UI with your login credentials.

2. In the navigation pane, click Manage > User groups. The Virtual topic viewers tab is displayed.

3. Click Add user group. The Authorize a user group to view virtual topics pane is displayed.

4. Select a user group from the list displayed. If the group that you want is not displayed, click Enable user group to add a group from your organization.
   Note: Any user groups that you add manually must exist within the organization that is provided by your OAuth provider.

5. Enter a name for the group that you want to add.

6. Click Next. The Add virtual topics pane is displayed with a list of unpublished, published, and archived virtual topics if they have custom visibility.

7. Select the virtual topics that you want the group to access.
