> 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.
