Re: Single User Authentication Question
Hi Michael, Thanks for raising the question. The Single User Authentication is intended for individual use by definition. NiFi supports integration with a number of services that provide authentication, which avoids some of the complexities surrounding localized management of multiple users. Is there a reason that one of the current integration options is not suitable for your use case? https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#multi-tenant-authorization There is an open NiFi Jira issue from several years ago that sounds similar to what you described: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1614 Apparently the associated pull request had unresolved feedback and was never merged. If you are interested in this feature, adding a comment about the desired use case would be helpful. This is not a guarantee that the feature will be implemented. The existing multi-tenant integration options cover a wide variety of deployment patterns, but feel free to highlight potential gaps.

Re: Single User Authentication Question
Michael To clarify what you're asking about - are you referencing the current out of the box default secure config? If yes that is meant as a 'get up and running' piece but not for real production usage. For such real usage we already have powerful authentication/authorization options that allow you to have many accounts/policies/etc.. Can you clarify which part you're asking about?
