# MQ User

An AWS MQ User represents a user account within an Amazon MQ broker. It defines the authentication credentials and permissions that allow clients to connect securely to the broker. Users can be configured with specific access rights, such as read or write permissions, to control how they interact with queues and topics. This helps manage secure communication and message flow between applications using the broker.
