If the run.as user is set, the user who is starting nifi will need 'sudo -u' access, according to the nifi.sh script.
If you want to avoid sudo access, just make sure the user executing nifi.sh is the correct user, eg. nifi. See line 327 [1] in nifi.sh. This is my understanding at least. If someone else has additional info, please add.
