Don Bosco Durai commented on RANGER-980:
----------------------------------------
I agree, we could combine them and make it configurable.
Regarding the DB growth, we could start another discussion. Ideally, except for
Audit records (if you are storing audit DB), Ranger DB shouldn't grow that
much. But if there are any opportunities for pruning, we should consider it.

>
> 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.
