Synopsis

MarketFactory allows Customers to request the creation of Whisperer API users as described in Whisperer Users. Further, these users can be restricted or enabled in their abilities to access different connections for the trading venues through the use of Feeds filters (Feed being a trading venue connection). The Feed filter exists as a statically defined enumeration within the Whisperer configuration and can allow for the following:

Users can be grouped together within a filter and provided with access to a collection of shared connections.
A filter can be created to permit a user access to only feeds/connections with Banks, ECN's or a combination of these liquidity providers or any other distinguishing feature a customer wishes to divide or group feeds/connections with.
Feeds filters can also enable the monitoring of prescribed users, a feature that is explored further in the user heading within this section.

It should be noted that the addition of a new Feed to a Whisperer instance will require the update of the Feed Filters for the customer's user groups, in order for users to view the Feed and subscribe for services.
