Users group in quota

I want to set quotas configuration for my Kafka 0.10.1 cluster but I have
some questions.

1. How to set 'user' group? From documentation, 'In a cluster that supports
unauthenticated clients, user principal is a grouping of unauthenticated
users chosen by the broker using a configurable PrincipalBuilder'. Is this
something I can control? The cluster doesn't have authentication settings.

2. The producers don't have client-id set up. Will Kafka differentiate them
through IP/Port or all of them will share the '/config/clients/<default>'
quota?

3. We are using simple consumer API and don't set up client-id. Will Kafka
differentiate them through IP/Port or all of them will share the
'/config/clients/<default>' quota?

Thanks,
Bravo
