Creating a Machine User
Learn how to create a Machine User with the proper roles for the DataFlow Catalog and generate credentials.
-
Select Create Machine User from the
Actions menu on the Users
tab.
-
Give the user a meaningful name and give it the proper roles:
- DFCatalogViewer
- It gives read-only access to the DataFlow Catalog. This is enough if you just want to check out existing flows from the Catalog.
- DFCatalogAdmin
- It gives read-write access to the DataFlow Catalog. This would allow you to version and control flows from NiFi into the Catalog, and to check out existing flows from the Catalog.
-
Go to the Access Keys tab and generate credentials for
your user.
