* **Admin:** The Admin role is responsible for managing and configuring the Kafka cluster. Admins handle tasks related to the setup, maintenance, and monitoring of Kafka resources.
* **Producers:** These are applications or services that publish (produce) messages to Kafka topics.
* **Consumers:** These are applications or services that subscribe to (consume) messages from Kafka topics. Consumers can be part of consumer groups, which allow for scalable and fault-tolerant consumption of messages.
* **Producers and Consumers:** Applications that both produce and consume messages often act as processors that read data from one or more topics, perform some transformation or processing, and then write the processed data back to Kafka.

To create users, go to the **Users** tab and click the **+** icon.
