Sergio Peña commented on SENTRY-2352:
-------------------------------------
[~LinaAtAustin] Yes, that's part of the patch. However, DESCRIBE won't work for
users with only the DROP privilege. Only ALTER is allowed.
> User roles with ALTER on a table can not show or describe the table on which
> they have ALTER

> Reporter: Sergio Peña
> Assignee: Sergio Peña
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: SENTRY-2352.1.patch
>
>
> A user with ALTER on a table in a database, doesn't see the table when they
> execute SHOW TABLES in that database.
> Also, the user with ALTER on a table in that database, can't execute DESCRIBE
> on that table.
> For the alter privilege to be useful, a user will want to be able to see the
> table that they have the privilege on, and be able to describe that table.
