Hey Alan, Thanks for replying. We are currently using storage based authorization and Hive 2.3.2. Unfortunately, we found that the default warehouse path requires a 777 file permission. Let us know if we completely misunderstood this requirement.
As a result, users now have the ability to create tables in default warehouse. I can look into grant and revoke statements.
