Versioned flows are stored and organized in registry buckets. Bucket Policies and Special Privileges configured by the registry administrator determine which buckets a user can import versioned flows from and which buckets a user can save versioned flows to. Information on Bucket Policies and Special Privileges can be found in the NiFi Registry User Guide (https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-registry-docs/html/user-guide.html). |
