# Kafka Settings

The Kafka Settings sub-module under the Integration module provides you with all the tools needed to set up and manage the Kafka configuration.

The Kafka Settings sub-module includes the following sections:

- **Kafka Server**: Allows you to view and copy the bootstrap server link, view and copy the Kafka SSL connection URL, and download the Kafka certificate.
- **Users**: Allows you to add and remove a Kafka user and change the password for a Kafka user.
- **ACL**: Allows you to add and remove an access control list (ACL) for a Topic, and copy an ACL user name.
