Adding or editing module permissions

How to add or edit users and groups permission to access Ranger modules.

Permissions defines the users and groups that can access Ranger modules using Ranger Admin Web UI. Access to a module determines whether the user can see and use options within that module using Ranger Admin Web UI. For example, a user with access to Resource Based Polices module can see Resource Based Policies option under Access Manager in Ranger Admin Web UI. An admin user can add, import, and export services policies, as well as view, edit and delete permissions for policies, as shown in the following example:

A Ranger user (without admin permissions) can only view the resource-based policies, as shown in the following example:
