How can the Ambari Ranger Admin internal user (amb_ranger_admin) be force recreated in Ranger?

When installing an existing Ranger 0.4 into Ambari 2.2 to facilitate management in Ambari, the amb_ranger_admin user was not created in Ranger.

What is the simplest way to force this account to be generated?

Thanks to support we determined the problem to be either an incorrect/unset password for the Ranger admin user or HDFS needing to be restarted after enabling the plugin. One or both of these two things solved the problem.
