-----------------------------------
Summary: NiFi Registry UX for Public Buckets could be improved
Key: NIFI-9973
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9973
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: NiFi Registry
Affects Versions: 1.16.0
Reporter: Chris Sampson
When starting a NiFi Registry instance with no authentication (e.g. 1.16.0
apache/nifi-registry image with default configuration) and then creating a New
Bucket via the UI, I noticed that the "Make publicly available" checkbox was
unchecked & disabled and I couldn't check the option.
This made me think that I couldn't create a Bucket that would be usable by
anyone (knowing that there's only the {{anonymous}} "user" in an
un-authenticated instance of Registry). There is also no mention of Public
Buckets within the NiFi Registry documentation, so no help there as to whether
the Bucket I was trying to create would be usable.
I think the UX around this could be improved, e.g. the "Make publicly
available" option could be checked but disabled (if that's possible), so
indicate that all Buckets will be public; or a tooltip could be added to
indicate that all Buckets will be public, etc.
Also, the NiFi Registry documentation should reference the availablility/use of
Public Buckets and the fact that *only* public Buckets can be created in an
un-authenticated instance of Registry.
