> 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].)
