Hi Kumar,
Access Policies in NiFi 1.3.0 are defined with (resource, action) pairs, where
"resource" is basically the path part of the resource URI (e.g., /controller,
/policies), and "action" is either 'read' or 'write'.
For each policy defined (resource, action) must be unique. So if you want to
grant a user or userGroup read or write access to a resource, rather than
create a new policy, first check if that policy already exists, and if so, add
the users/groups to that policy. If the policy for the (resource, action) pair
you want to set does not exist, then create it.
Referencing the NiFi REST API documentation [1]:
To view all existing policies:
GET /policies
To update an existing policy:
PUT /policies/{policyId} # where policyId is returned by the server in the
GET response
To create a new policy for a (resource, action) pair that does not already
exist:
POST /policies # the created policy, including the server-set id, will be
returned in the response upon success
Note, that in order to add tenants (ie, users and userGroups) to a policy, you
must discover their ids as well. You can use:
GET /tenants/users
GET/tenants/user-groups
GET /tenants/search-results # search by tenant identity, i.e.,
user name or group name.
These tenants endpoints may be helpful in resolving the other error you noticed
in the logs, which user not found exception. Make sure the user you are
referencing is in the result set of GET /tenants/users and use the same entity
id when you are adding a user to a policy.
[1] https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/rest-api/index.html
(this link is to 1.4.0 rest api docs, but the tenant and policy API endpoints
are unchanged from 1.3.0 to my knowledge)
Hope this helps!
Kevin

Subject: Found multiple policies exception
Hi,
I am using NiFi-1.3.0 secured with Kerberos. When i set a policy for a user, i
am getting
Found multiple policies for '/controller' with 'write'.
After checking log file, below exception occurs
org.apache.nifi.web.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find user with id
'311656fb-3fef-303d-8b61-24d4a7d8aeb9'.. Returning Not Found response.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Found multiple policies for '/controller' with
'write'.. Returning Conflict response.
how to solve this? Is this NiFi issue?
Thanks,
Kumar
