Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-3417:
-----------------------------------
Would like to understand why templates are tied to a given process group again
(i'm sure i'm forgetting). I assume it has to do with permissions for those
templates being associated with the permissions of the group in which they were
created.
> Allow users to delete process groups containing template definitions

> Key: NIFI-3417
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3417
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Reporter: Andy LoPresto
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: process-group, template
>
> As reported on the mailing list, a user encountered an issue trying to delete
> what appeared to be an empty process group because it contained template
> definitions.
> I propose that the error dialog should allow for (2 - 4) options to resolve
> this issue:
> # Delete this process group and any contained templates (if the process group
> is empty, the template definitions are now irrelevant anyway)
> # Cancel (current option)
> Other possibilities:
> # Delete and move all template definitions to the parent process group (this
> could cause broken connections/lost definitions)
> # Delete and export all template definitions to XML (again, not sure this
> would be of any value as the components and connections no longer exist)
> This probably needs some discussion, especially if [~mcgilman] can weigh in.
