    Hey @yuri1969 and @mcgilman - just did a test in a secured env where a user 
only has access to a specific process group. It LGTM:

    Does it sound OK to you @mcgilman ?
    Happy to check something else if needed. Thanks!

> In the summary view, when there are hundreds of processors, it can be 
> difficult to know what exact processor we are looking at in the table. The 
> only options are:
> - go to the processor location to know what processor it is (but then we are 
> not on the summary view anymore)
> - have a naming convention to uniquely name every component
> To improve the user experience, the following could be implemented:
> - add a column "Process Group" displaying the name of the parent process 
> group containing the component
> - when hovering the "Go to location" button change the tooltip to include the 
> path of the component. Something like: "Go to /NiFi Flow/My RPG/My Processor"
