Description

When a Node joins a cluster and does not contain a flow.xml.gz file, the file is downloaded from the Cluster. The same is not true for either authorizations.xml nor users.xml. However, both of these files contain elements of the flow that are verified for consistency before a Node is allowed to join the Cluster.
Recommended change: just as in the case of flow.xml.gz, a missing authorizations.xml and/or users.xml file should be inherited and downloaded from the Cluster.
