Does Ranger user group sync support removing users?

[#1]

Hi,

I want to use Ranger-usersync to import users to ranger with a file (export from LDAP) : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/RANGER/File+Source+User+Group+Sync+process

I can see that insert and updates work. However, this does support delete user?

The same question if I used usersync with LDAP?

I already saw this article but I can not see if the bug has been corrected : https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/49127/does-ranger-user-group-sync-support-removing-users....

Thanks

Yes. We can delete user using Ranger rest api as mentioned in -

I was able to successfully remove the users.

Hi @Sagar Shimpi

Thank for your quick reply. Do I need to delete users manually?

Let's say user x has been deleted from LDAP. Can Ranger detects this automatically and delete user x from its DB?

You need to delete this manually from ranger. Ranger will not detect this automatically.
