Description

If a resource based policy is given a name that contains a character that is typically HTML escape, such as the greater than sign '>', which is HTML escaped '>', then whenever that policy is saved, the name of the policy will be changed by the ranger you to contain the HTML escape characters.

For example, if I name a policy mydb->mytable, then when that policy is edited and saved in the UI, its name will change to mydb->mytable. Because the ampersand is itself an HTML escaped character, if I save the policy again, this name will be changed to mydb->mytable.Etc..
