Hi luochong, Regarding, *Is there another way to sync user info automatically?* Ranger-Usersync process syncs the added users in particular time interval which is in minutes; By default it is set to 5 minutes.The property name is "SYNC_INTERVAL". So it will sync newly added user after that interval or you have restart ranger-usersync. You can update this value in install.properties file and run the setup.sh script to update the value in the Usersync process, after this you will have to restart ranger-usersync process.
Regarding, * How to remove the user info of ranger?* To delete the user from Ranger database, you will have to delete the user from Ranger UI manually, as the Ranger-Usersync process will only add users to Ranger Database.
