But the path may also be configured correctly and the user is simply trying to create an external table in a forbidden location. Or ExternalFileAccess may be None. Ideally (if it's not too much work), the message should be something like "The use of external tables is not allowed in the current configuration" when EFA is None, and "The specified external table path does not belong to an allowed directory tree" when it is Restrict.
