Downloading and viewing should be the same permissions. If you're seeing otherwise please file a JIRA with the details. Is the instance clustered, what permissions to you have set on the source component, etc?
Andre, The 'view the data' is the correct policy that you need to configure. Is your instance clustered or are there anything proxying user requests? And endpoint that will be transferring 'data' (or 'metadata' like flow file attributes) will require that every link is the chain has the 'view the data' policy enabled. This ensures that every system between the user and NiFi is authorized to have the data. Let me know if that helps.
