I also get this warning on HDP 2.3.2 - It is only a warning and I'd be interested to know what the impact is. It seems strange that the "ranger" user doesn't have access to the "/var/lib/ranger" folder...especially as there are .bash_profile files in here, suggesting it's some kind of home folder
[root@sandbox ranger]# id ranger
uid=1008(ranger) gid=503(hadoop) groups=503(hadoop),487(ranger)
[root@sandbox ranger]# ls -dl /var/lib/ranger
drwx------ 2 kms kms 4096 2015-10-27 12:56 /var/lib/ranger
[root@sandbox ranger]# ls -la .

Should I make the 'ranger' user part of the kms group? I would still have to make the /var/lib/ranger folder group readable (at least).
