  2. Select Ranger as a dependency from NiFi Registry configuration.
  3. Restart NiFi Registry.
  4. Select Migrate File-based Authorizations to Ranger from the Actions drop-down. Confirm the action.
  5. After a successful migration, verify that the policies are available in the NiFi Registry Ranger service.
