Has there been any update on this matter? It would be nice to have this from an auditing standpoint.

> usersync for all sources creates users and groups, but does not delete them from Ranger's database if these users and groups do not exists anymore in the original source.
> So if you have for example a user called "bob" and bob leaves the company his access rights will continue to exist in Ranger. If a new employee comes in that is also "bob" he is immediately granted the same access as the previous employee. This creates security incidents.
> In a reasonable complex company it cannot be expected that another user administration is being taken care of, while deletion could and should happen automatically.
