Hello @theara ,

Although null publications should be published to every connected Client, have you tried to use named pub/sub?
From Meteor Users docs:

Meteor.publish('user.custom', function () {
    if (!this.userId) {
        return this.ready();
    }
    
    // For testing purpose, make sure roleGroup exists on this user' record
    console.warn(Meteor.users.findOne({_id: this.userId}, {fields: {roleGroup: 1}}));
    return Meteor.users.find({_id: this.userId}, {fields: {roleGroup: 1}});
});

// Client
Meteor.subscribe('user.custom');
