---------------------------------------
Summary: Restrict 'show databases' based on underlying permissions.
Key: DRILL-3467
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3467
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Metadata
Reporter: Andy Pernsteiner
Assignee: Steven Phillips
Ideally, an administrator would have the ability to restrict the visibility of
workspaces based on the FS permissions that underly those workspaces. Currently
it appears we only honor this for 'show tables' , but not for 'show databases'.
Without this functionality (or something that gives an equivalent result),
users will be able to see any and all workspaces, including ones which
administrators may wish to keep 'invisible'. Additionally, when having hundreds
(or potentially thousands) of users, seeing all workspaces via 'show databases'
is likely to make it difficult for end-users to know what they can and cannot
access.
