Aldrin Piri commented on NIFI-472:
----------------------------------
Patch provided gives a run.as user experience as outlined in the ticket with
some assumptions.
* This follows the common model of shared group permissions to access
directories and makes the associated changes to the generated assemblies
** Accordingly, it is expected that the group on the generated files is shared
between the executing user and the run as user. Additionally, the executing
user has sudo privileges.
* Caveat: The default tar on OS X doesn't seem to preserve permissions even
when specifying the -p flag. The zip assembly does.
> When running NiFi with the "run.as" property specified in the bootstrap.conf
> file, the run.as user should own the nifi.pid file

> Currently, if I set the "run.as" user to something like "nifi" and then I run
> "bin/nifi.sh start", a file named "nifi.pid" is created in the bin/
> directory, but it is owned by me. It should instead be owned by the "run.as"
> user (nifi).
