@Harish More

Can you please check if you have set the "ranger.usersync.unix.backend=nss" property inside the "ranger-ugsync-site.xml" file after setting up the SSSD?

Please refer to the following article to get more details about this property followed by a usersync restart.

Hi @Jay Kumar SenSharma

I dont have LDAP setup and I didn't setup SSSD as well.

[#4 · Accepted solution]

The problem is resolved.

We need to update one property for that

ranger.usersync.policymanager.mockrun = false
