Hi,   Hive has different authorization possibilities, and one of them is the StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider. But unfortunatly, it's bugged since 0.14. With this policy, the rights on the metastore are 'copying' the rights on the filesystem where the tables are stored (if you don't have the write rights on the filesystem, you can't drop the table).
