If all services in the minicluster are set up correctly and are up, run this to restart the Impala cluster with Ranger authorization:

bin/start-impala-cluster.py --impalad_args="--server-name=server1 --ranger_service_type=hive --ranger_app_id=impala --authorization_provider=ranger" --catalogd_args="--server-name=server1 --ranger_service_type=hive --ranger_app_id=impala --authorization_provider=ranger"

If you want to investigate Hive behaviors in Ranger authorization, run this to restart Hive:

testdata/bin/run-hive-server.sh -with_ranger

We could enable the Ranger service initialized with the default policies on an Impala minicluster by the following steps (assuming that we have already executed '$IMPALA_HOME/testdata/bin/run-all.sh').
