Summary

The idea is inspired by rabbitmq. In short:

a vhost is an isolated environment with its machines and streams
A user can be associated to one or more vhosts
A user can switch between his vhosts after login
The admin can create/delete vhosts and give access to users for specific vhosts

inspiring screen from rabbitmq

Motivation

This will allow more project / scope specific virtual installation and make things clearer for small teams to work.
On a cloud installation this will be a very important feature
This is an easy alternative to complex user/resource management

Additional context

Implementation should not be difficult. Foreseen changes:

add vhost in user model
add vhosts maybe in config global collections and allow admin to add/delete
allow creation / connection to db collections based on vhost as prefix
add vhost in MQTT topic maybe under protocol version in have a kind of mosquitto vhost
add vhost selection ui widget
