The following table provides details about Hive ACL permissions required for performing operations on CarbonData tables.

Parameters listed in Table 5 or Table 6 have been configured.

**Table 1** Hive ACL permissions required for CarbonData table-level operations
Scenario	Required Permission
DESCRIBE TABLE	SELECT (of table)
SELECT	SELECT (of table)
EXPLAIN	SELECT (of table)
CREATE TABLE	CREATE (of database)
CREATE TABLE As SELECT	CREATE (on database), INSERT (on table), RW on data file, and SELECT (on table)
LOAD	INSERT (of table) RW on data file
DROP TABLE	OWNER (of table)
DELETE SEGMENTS	DELETE (of table)
SHOW SEGMENTS	SELECT (of table)
CLEAN FILES	DELETE (of table)
INSERT OVERWRITE / INSERT INTO	INSERT (of table) RW on data file and SELECT (of table)
CREATE INDEX	OWNER (of table)
DROP INDEX	OWNER (of table)
SHOW INDEXES	SELECT (of table)
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN	OWNER (of table)
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN	OWNER (of table)
ALTER TABLE CHANGE DATATYPE	OWNER (of table)
ALTER TABLE RENAME	OWNER (of table)
ALTER TABLE COMPACTION	INSERT (on table)
FINISH STREAMING	OWNER (of table)
ALTER TABLE SET STREAMING PROPERTIES	OWNER (of table)
ALTER TABLE SET TABLE PROPERTIES	OWNER (of table)
UPDATE CARBON TABLE	UPDATE (of table)
DELETE RECORDS	DELETE (of table)
REFRESH TABLE	OWNER (of main table)
REGISTER INDEX TABLE	OWNER (of table)
SHOW PARTITIONS	SELECT (on table)
ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION	OWNER (of table)
ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION	OWNER (of table)

NOTE:

If tables in the database are created by multiple users, the Drop database command fails to be executed even if the user who runs the command is the owner of the database.
In a secondary index, when the parent table is triggered, insert and compaction are triggered on the index table. If you select a query that has a filter condition that matches index table columns, you should provide selection permissions for the parent table and index table.
The LockFiles folder and lock files created in the LockFiles folder will have full permissions, as the LockFiles folder does not contain any sensitive data.
If you are using ACL, ensure you do not configure any path for DDL or DML which is being used by other process. You are advised to create new paths.
Configure the path for the following configuration items:

1) carbon.badRecords.location

2) Db_Path and other items during database creation
For Carbon ACL in a non-security cluster, hive.server2.enable.doAs in the hive-site.xml file must be set to false. Then the query will run as the user who runs the hiveserver2 process.
