Ingesting permissions into Ranger

After you run the authzmigrator tool to export the permissions on the source cluster, ingest them into the Ranger service on the target cluster.

To ingest the permissions in the /opt/backup/permissions.json file, perform the following steps:

In the target cluster, copy the /opt/backup/permissions.json file to the /user/sentry/export-permissions/permissions.json HDFS location.
Make sure the user ranger has read-write permissions on the file. To set the read-write permissions for the ranger user, run the following command:
hdfs dfs -setfacl -m -R user:ranger:rwx /user/sentry/export-permissions/permissions.json
Log in to Cloudera Manager.
In the Ranger service, click Actions > Import Sentry permissions.

The Ranger service ingests the permissions present in the /user/sentry/export-permissions/permissions.json file. You can view the permissions in the Ranger Admin UI.
