Authorizers.xml Setup

The authorizers.xml file is used to define and configure available authorizers. The default authorizer is the FileAuthorizer, however, you can develop additional authorizers as extensions. The FileAuthorizer has the following properties:

• Authorizations File - The file where the FileAuthorizer stores policies. By default, the authorizations.xml in the conf directory is chosen.

• Users File - The file where the FileAuthorizer stores users and groups. By default, the users.xml in the conf directory is chosen.

• Initial Admin Identity - The identity of an initial admin user that is granted access to the UI and given the ability to create additional users, groups, and policies. This property is only used when there are no other users, groups, and policies defined.

• Legacy Authorized Users File - The full path to an existing authorized-users.xml that is automatically converted to the multi-tenant authorization model. This property is only used when there are no other users, groups, and policies defined.

• Node Identity - The identity of a NiFi cluster node. When clustered, a property for each node should be defined, so that every node knows about every other node. If not clustered, these properties can be ignored.
