Create Consumer Groups in Kong Manager

With consumer groups, you can scope plugins to specifically defined groups and a new plugin instance will be created for each individual consumer group, making configurations and customizations more flexible and convenient. For all plugins available on the consumer groups scope, see the Plugin Scopes Reference.
