Andre/Matt,

Sorry, my memory was wrong. My experience matches Andre’s, it only errors when 
I click Download; View is fine.

We are running a customized build of 1.0 and I made the assumption that this 
was an issue caused by a bad merge on our part and wasn’t paying it much 
attention. I have not submitted a JIRA ticket.

We are not clustered, running Kerberos for authentication.

Thanks,
  Peter

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.

Matt

Peter,

Quite curious as I am able to view the flowfile but unable to download it.

Seems something we should either document (how to setup properly) or to fix in 
the next release.

Have you already raised a JIRA?

No help here, except to share that I’ve also seen this error.  I’ve been 
working around it by downloading the FlowFile instead of viewing it.

Hi there,


I am puzzled but one of 1.0.0 features. I had some flowfiles in the queue and 
as customary I did a list queue.

Flowfile was in there, attributes in perfect shape. Yet when I try to download 
the data of the flowfile (i.e. click the download button) it reports I don't 
have permissions.

I would assume the permissions required would be "view the data"?


Cheers
