Mark,

The resources end-point returns all of possible resource identifiers
that can be used to create policies. If you look in authorizations.xml
on the policies and see things like "/flow" or"/controller", those are
examples of resources.

I'm not sure that NiFi itself uses it for anything, but it is more for
external systems or scripts that may want to retrieve this
information. For example, integration with Apache Ranger lets you
define policies in Ranger and it needs to know the list of resources
to define policies for.

As far as I know, a user would need READ to /resources to make a
request to the end-point.

Thanks,

Bryan
