Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HIVE-11988:
-----------------------------------------
[~aloklal99], that's a good point. I will create a new bug to track this issue.
It does look like on a plain CREATE-TABLE, the new table being created also is
created as a WriteEntity. I will create a new bug to do so.

> if a user does not have permission to create table in hive , then if the same
> user import data for a table using following command then , it will have to
> create table also and that is working successfully , ideally it should not
> work
> STR:
> ====
> 1. put some raw data in hdfs path /user/user1/tempdata
> 2. in ranger check policy , user1 should not have any permission on any table
> 3. login through user1 into beeline ( obviously it will fail since user
> doesnt have permission to create table)
> create table tt1(id INT,ff String);
> FAILED: HiveAccessControlException Permission denied: user user1 does not
> have CREATE privilege on default/tt1 (state=42000,code=40000)
> 4. now try following command to import data into a table ( table should not
> exist already)
> import table tt1 from '/user/user1/tempdata';
> ER:
> since user1 doesnt have permission to create table so this operation should
> fail
> AR:
> table is created successfully and data is also imported !!
