@pepov @kevdoran thanks for the feedback. I'll update the docs to reflect
the property change, and update the code to reflect that the group name is
provided and look up the group identifier accordingly.
> Add support for node groups to FileAccessPolicyProvider

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5542
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Andrew Christianson
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently in FileAccessPolicyProvider, it is possible to specify a set of
> node identities, which are given access to /proxy. This works well for static
> clusters, but does not work so well for dynamic clusters (scaling up/down #
> of nodes) because we don't know in advance what the node identities will be
> or how many there will be.
> In order to support dynamic sets of node identities, add support for
> specifying a "Node Group," for which all identities in the group will be
> granted access to /proxy. A UserGroupProvider can then be implemented to
> gather node identities dynamically from the cluster environment.
