Can each user of nifi has there own canvas?

[#1]

It seems that all the users of nifi manage the flows on one canvas in a nifi instance.

It's convenient for each user has there own canvas to create there own flows. How to realize?

Or is there a plan for this function?

David,

While "individual canvases" are not available, NiFi 1.0.0 (released today) introduces the concept of multi-tenant authorization. This allows extremely granular security access controls for groups and users over components, process groups, controller services, etc. Using MTA, an administrator can provide multiple process groups at the root process group level and apply different read and write permissions to each, effectively allowing users to access their "own canvases", without being able to view or modify another user's process group.

The official NiFi documentation on the website should be updated within the next 24 hours to reflect the new behavior, but for now you can download and build NiFi 1.0.0 and then click "Help" from the "hamburger menu" in the upper right corner of the canvas. The Admin Guide and User Guide have extensive documentation on using this feature.
