Hi Lune, In 2.3.2, we didn’t have the support of syncing groups with no members or users that are part of the user search. We added this support recently as part of (RANGER-869). Once you add a new group and add any user to be member of that new group, then the group should be sync’d at the next sync cycle without a restart.
Thanks, Sailaja.

I'm using HDP 2.3.2 and I send you this mail because I have a stange behaviour with usersync. I thought usersync was updating every 30s (from ranger.usersync.sleeptimeinmillisbetweensynccycle) But it is not the case. In order to verify that, I created a new group, then I waited 30s, and then I checked in the Ambari Admin UI if the group was foundable, and it was not. When I restart usersync, the group will be found if at least one user is a member of the group. Usersync is not able to retrieve groups without member users. Question 1 - I wanted to know if it was the attended behaviour of usersync ? Question 2 - Is it possible to have it update regularly without being forced to restart it ? Question 3 - Is it possible to have it sync the groups from the ldap, even the empty ones ? BR. Lune.
