I created a table 'ted:t1' using user X in a secure cluster.

I then logged in as user hrt_1 and did the following:

hbase(main):007:0> user_permission 'ted:t1'
User
Table,Family,Qualifier:Permission

ERROR: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.AccessDeniedException: Insufficient
permissions (user=hr...@h.net, scope=ted:t1, family=, action=ADMIN)
at
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.AccessController.requirePermission(AccessController.java:387)
at
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.AccessController.getUserPermissions(AccessController.java:1613)

hbase(main):002:0> disable 'ted:t1'

ERROR: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.AccessDeniedException: Insufficient
permissions (user=hr...@horton.ygridcore.net, scope=ted:t1, family=,
action=CREATE)

So your use case is covered.
