The default authorization model in hive can be used to provide fine grained access control by creating views and granting access to views instead of the underlying table.

SQL Standards based hive authorization (New in hive 0.13)

SQL standards based authorization option (introduced in hive 0.13) provides a third option for authorization in hive. This is recommended because it allows Hive to be fully SQL compliant in its authorization model without causing backward compatibility issues for current users. As users migrate to this more secure model, the current default authorization could be deprecated. This authorization mode can be used in conjunction with storage based authorization on the metastore server. Like the current default authorization in hive, this will also be enforced at query compilation time. To provide security through this option, the client will have to be secured. This can be done by allowing users access only through hive server2, and by restricting the user code and non sql commands that can be run. The checks will happen against the user who submits the request, but the query will run as the hive server user. The directories and files for input data would have read access for this hive server user. For users who don’t have the need to protect against malicious users, this could potentially be supported through the hive command line as well.
