Component Level Access Policies

Component level access policies govern the following component level authorizations:


Policy	Privilege
view the component	Allows users to view component configuration details
modify the component	Allows users to modify component configuration details
view the data	Allows user to view metadata and content for this component through provenance data and flowfile queues in outbound connections
modify the data	Allows user to empty flowfile queues in outbound connections and submit replays
view the policies	Allows users to view the list of users who can view/modify a component
modify the policies	Allows users to modify the list of users who can view/modify a component
retrieve data via site-to-site	Allows a port to receive data from NiFi instances
send data via site-to-site	Allows a port to send data from NiFi instances

You can apply access policies to all component types except connections. Connection authorizations are inferred by the individual access policies on the source and destination components of the connection, as well as the access policy of the process group containing the components. This is discussed in more detail in the creating a connection and editing a connection examples below.
