I want to restrict the use of “workq” to just one user. Is there an easy way to do that?

Hi @rementis,

Yes, you can restrict the queue to be accessible by only a specific user(s) with the following setting:

```auto
set queue workq acl_user_enable = True
set queue workq acl_users = foo
set queue workq acl_users += bar

```
