Chapter 21. KafkaAuthorizationSimple schema reference

Used in: KafkaClusterSpec

Full list of KafkaAuthorizationSimple schema properties

Configures the Kafka custom resource to use simple authorization and define Access Control Lists (ACLs).

ACLs allow you to define which users have access to which resources at a granular level.

Streams for Apache Kafka uses Kafka’s built-in StandardAuthorizer authorization plugin.

Set the type property in the authorization section to the value simple, and configure a list of super users. Super users are always allowed without querying ACL rules.

Access rules are configured for the KafkaUser, as described in the ACLRule schema reference.
