When NiFi is started for the first time, the Component Access Policies are not populated even for the Initial Admin or for legacy DFM_ROLE users in authorized-users.xml file.That is, not unless a flow.xml.gz file exists. The fact that the admin user does not have access to these policies has led to confusion for a great number of users.
I believe this came up before and an explanation was given that since the flow.xml.gz does not yet exist (nor the root process group's UUID), the Component Access Policies cannot be created. However, I have to believe there is a mechanism that can be employed to return to policy generation after the flow.xml.gz is created. Can someone provide some pointers to where in the code I can look to see where the Global Policies are initially created and/or where Component Policies are created when migrating with an existing flow.xml.gz? Thanks, Mark
