Andrew Lim reassigned NIFI-2966:
--------------------------------
Assignee: Andrew Lim
> Add policy resource descriptors to Admin Guide listing of policies
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-2966
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2966
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation & Website
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Andy LoPresto
> Assignee: Andrew Lim
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: authorization, beginner, documentation, policy
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> While ideally a user/admin would never have to examine the
> {{$NIFI_HOME/conf/users.xml}} or {{$NIFI_HOME/conf/authorizations.xml}}
> files, in my development and debugging, I have had to on more than one
> occasion. It would be helpful to list the actual policy resource descriptor
> (e.g. {{/provenance}}, {{/flow}}, {{/tenants}}) in the table in the [Admin
> Guide|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#global-access-policies]
> listing these policies. When the provenance policy was missing for both of
> my defined users, I could not add it through the UI, so I had to manually
> edit the {{authorizations.xml}} file, but I did not know the resource
> descriptor a priori, so I had to search the code base for it.
> I envision simply adding an additional column to the table and adding the
> descriptor, including a placeholder if necessary (e.g.
> {{/data/process-groups/}}_root-process-group-id_).
