@Kate Shaw It normally takes 30secs to refresh policies. You can check the "Plugin" option in ranger UI to check if the policy is getting sync or not.There is no option to force policies. I see there is option in each service plugin in Ambari to define time interval. Example for HDFS service is shown below In Ambari UI->HDFS->Services->Configs->"Advance ranger-hdfs-security" you can change the poll interval here[refresh time]. Check few link which can help to understand better - https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/13070/ranger-policy-is-not-applied.html
