Hi,

So, I created a hivemq image through `docker pull hivemq/hivemq-ce`. and ran `docker run --name hivemq-ce -d -p 1883:1883 hivemq/hivemq-ce`. How do I create users/add users to make the broker secure?

Hello @XavierJ

Welcome to the HiveMQ Community! To implement username and password-based authentication for your MQTT clients, you can use the HiveMQ File RBAC Extension. For more details, please visit: [HiveMQ File RBAC Extension](https://www.hivemq.com/products/extensions/file-rbac-extension/).

Kind regards,
