Hi Sönke, Thanks for the info, it is helpful!
I can modify so that the departments can only access the Kafka nodes themselves. However how would the consumers connect to the topics then? Don't the consumer clients require to connect via Zookeeper?

I assume that you have enabled Zookeeper ACLs, but even with those in place, the topic metadata is world readable, so listing topics can be done by anyone who has access to Zookeeper. If your departments can only access the Kafka nodes themselves then the DESCRIBE action on Topics is I believe what you are looking for, without an ACL in place to grant this, the topic should not be listed in Metadata responses. I hope that helps, if you need more information let us know!

I have multiple topics & consumers set up with ACLS such that consumer can only read from a particular topic. I am wondering how I can prevent a consumer from accessing metadata in zookeeper about other topics? i.e, prevent consumers from listing or getting info about topics in the cluster. (Not let marketing dept see the topic names of finance topics.) Thanks, Reema
