Andre commented on NIFI-930:
----------------------------
I am afraid this issue is environmental.
No further steps to system configuration should be required to run.as another
use, however the user starting nifi using nifi.sh must have sudo privileges as
normal Unix user IDs do not allow a regular user to change the UUID of a
process
> Need more details on running NiFi as non-root

> Key: NIFI-930
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-930
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation & Website
> Affects Versions: 0.3.0
> Reporter: Ali Bajwa
> Priority: Minor
>
> When setting up to run NiFi as non-root user, Nifi kept going down and I kept
> getting errors about user not being in list of sudoers.After adding nifi user
> to /etc/sudoers it started working.
> Would be great to have better documentation on this e.g. point this out as a
> required manual step before installation. Also would be a good place to talk
> about run.as option and how it would be used in such scenario
