Unable to write to HDFS as non sudo user

I've changed the permission of a hdfs directory via 

hdfs dfs -chmod 777 /path/to/dir

but, when writing to that directory as a non-sudo user, i get a permission error

Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException(org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException): Permission denied: user=crtemois, access=WRITE, inode="/aggregation/system/data/clean":owners:hdfs:drwxr-xr-x

The reason is that Apache Ranger was layered on top. Even though the permissions were changed via chmod 777, if the user permission wasn't set in Apache Ranger, writing wouldn't be possible.
