Configure Find to Apply Policies through NiFi

You can configure Find to apply policies to documents using Apache NiFi. When you configure Find with a connection to NiFi, an Apply Policy menu item is available on search pages (unsaved search, saved search, and snapshots) so that users can apply a policy to their search results.

When a user applies a policy, Find sends an action to the host and port that you configure. The policy actions are defined by your NiFi dataflow.

NOTE: To apply policies to documents, a user must be assigned the FindBI role. See User Roles.
