Andre commented on NIFI-1461:
-----------------------------
James,
The tarball unlike the RPM does not require installation by root and any normal
user can run it as long the use case can survive without the use of run.as and
ports under 1024.
So the comparison with the tar is not 1 to 1.
I will be uploading a patch in the next hour or so with a few permission
suggestions.
> RPM should create nifi user and give it access to the /opt/nifi and
> subdirectories

> currently when installing from RPM the resulting permissions result on admins

> filesystem permissions.
> Ideally the RPM packages should result in installed files ready to be
> utilised as a non-root user
