> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core UI
> Reporter: Matt Gilman
> Assignee: Matt Gilman
>
> Add support for configuring variables at a Process Group level. Variables,
> like Controller Services, are scoped by the group they are defined in and are
> available to any Processor defined there and below (ie and descendant
> Processors). Variables in a descendant group can override the value in a
> parent group. Variable permissions will be based solely on the corresponding
> Process Group.
> Because variables are specified in EL, there is no controlling access to them
> like Controller Services which can be restricted using the combo selector.
> Because of this, variables should not be used for sensitive values.
