             Summary: UI - Support configuring variables at a Process Group level
                 Key: NIFI-4280
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4280
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core UI
            Reporter: Matt Gilman
            Assignee: Matt Gilman


Add support for configuring variables at a Process Group level. Variables, like Controller Services, are scoped by the group they are defined in and are available to any Processor defined there and below (ie and descendant Processors). Variables in a descendant group can override the value in a parent group. Variable permissions will be based solely on the corresponding Process Group.

Because variables are specified in EL, there is no controlling access to them like Controller Services which can be restricted using the combo selector. Because of this, variables should not be used for sensitive values.
