The following link has the details:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/RANGER/REST+APIs+for+Policy+Management

.

Example:

curl -u $RangerAdmin:$Password -X GET http://$RANGERHOST:6080/service/public/api/policy/ 

Above will list the policies then you can navigate to the desired policy make changes/post/delete

@Jay SenSharma It's worth pointing out that unless you're using Ranger 0.4 or below, that API is obsolete. You should be using the v2 API linked to by @mvaradkar:

@Terry Stebbens
