I got what you are saying.
The challenge is that the run.as user comes from a pom attribute before the
RPM creation is started, meaning the the build-root used by the RPM packager
already contains the correct run.as
The sequence seems to be:
If -Prpm is enable used the line you highlighted above, if not, use
https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/master/nifi-assembly/pom.xml#L429
The only other way I imagine being possible would be using sed to replace
the `run.as=` with `run.as=nifi` prior to RPM the built-root folder?
