Does Phoenix allow role creation?

Does phoenix allow role creation? i want to create roles on hbase and would like to avoid doing this on hbase command line. Ranger is not enabled yet so that is not an option. Any help?

1. Security Features. A number of existing HBase security features in 0.94 could be leverage and new security features being added to 0.98 could be leveraged in the future.
   • Support GRANT and REVOKE. Support the standard GRANT and REVOKE SQL commands through an HBase AccessController.
   • Surface support for encryption. Surface specification of what should be encrypted now that HBase supports transparent encryption.
   • Support Cell-level security. Surface cell-level security now that HBase supports it.
