> Key: RANGER-980
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-980
> Project: Ranger
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: usersync
> Affects Versions: 0.6.0, 0.5.3
> Reporter: Bolke de Bruin
> Priority: Critical

> 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.
