-----------------------------------
Summary: Add policy resource descriptors to Admin Guide listing of
policies
Key: NIFI-2966
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2966
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation & Website
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
Priority: Minor
While ideally a user/admin would never have to examine the
{{$NIFI_HOME/conf/users.xml}} or {{$NIFI_HOME/conf/authorizations.xml}} files,
in my development and debugging, I have had to on more than one occasion. It
would be helpful to list the actual policy resource descriptor (e.g.
{{/provenance}}, {{/flow}}, {{/tenants}}) in the table in the [Admin
Guide|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#global-access-policies]
listing these policies. When the provenance policy was missing for both of my
defined users, I could not add it through the UI, so I had to manually edit the
{{authorizations.xml}} file, but I did not know the resource descriptor a
priori, so I had to search the code base for it.
I envision simply adding an additional column to the table and adding the
descriptor, including a placeholder if necessary (e.g.
{{/data/process-groups/}}_root-process-group-id_).
