@mcgilman thanks, this definitely simplifies the code a lot, too, and makes
it more consistent. Was able to verify starting/stopping process
groups/individual components. Was able to verify changing to different versions
of a versioned flow, and changing variable registry. All handled the
authorization properly. Tested all of the above in both standalone mode and
clustered. +1 will merge to master.---
