Hello Kamiled,

May I know how are you updating the policy? are you using post or put call? Please follow the below link.

Hi Vamsi,

typically I use

curl -i -n -X PUT -H "Accept:application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json" "https://host:9999/service/plugins/policies/205" -d '{ "id": 205

But the same error message I got via edit policy in Ranger UI.

Weird for me is, that some policies are updated sucessfully and some not.

Regards

Kamiled

Hi Vamsi,

I copied error message for another policy.  Policy has list of tables for SELECT and I need to add another table to list.
