Lefty Leverenz created HCATALOG-485:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Document that storage-based security ignores GRANT/REVOKE
statements
Key: HCATALOG-485
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-485
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Reporter: Lefty Leverenz
In HCatalog's authorization doc, explain that the SQL statements GRANT and
REVOKE don't work for storage-based security, which uses the read/write
permissions of underlying storage entities to determine a user's permissions
for databases, tables, and partitions. (This is different from Hive's default
authorization, which has RDBMS-style permissions for users, groups, and roles
as described in [Hive
Authorization|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Authorization].)
