# Broker Pools

A broker pool is a collection of one or many brokers. It is a way to group brokers that support the same resource types and permissions. You can assign the resource types and permissions to a broker pool, and all brokers of that pool support the same. For example, all Windows server-related brokers are part of one broker pool. Broker pools are created and managed by Britive.

A broker joins a broker pool when it registers itself with the Britive platform, authenticating with an authentication token associated with that broker pool. Every broker pool can have a maximum of three tokens, and two tokens at a time can be active. A default broker token is created for each new broker pool. For more information about registering and configuring brokers, see [](/v1/docs/brokers)[Brokers](/v1/docs/brokers)[](/v1/docs/brokers).
