Matt Gilman updated NIFI-2244:
------------------------------
Description:
A user is unable to modify a connection if its source or destination is a
processor that is running. However, it appears that this logic is also applied
when considering permissions. If I have permissions to modify a connection but
the not permissions to modify the source or the destination, the UI does not
allow me to Configure the connection with a right-click menu. Instead, the
context menu shows "View Configuration" but the Operation palette menu allows
me to configure the Connection (the palette vs. context menu issue is part of
NIFI-2235).
Also, along these lines we should only require the necessary permissions for
various actions. For instance, component removal or updating it's position
should not require read permissions. However, configuration of the component
should require read permissions as it is necessary for obtaining the various
property descriptors.
