Once you have created the certificates for your other two users as @DigitalPlumber suggested, you would need to connect to your NiFi as the admin user you setup during initial securing of your NiFi and these two new users via the NiFi global menu (upper right corner) --> Users. Then you would need to authorize those new user identities against any policies needed for them to perform the actions you want them to be allowed.

Hope this helps,

Hi @rafy please refer to the user authentication portion of this doc:

https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#user_authentication
Given that you are familiar with the toolkit and you only want to autheticate 3 users, then creating 3 user certs is simplest approach.
Just have them add the created certs to their browser.
