Hi @Henrik 

To grant a user the privilege to query system tables, a metastore admin or another privileged user must grant USE and SELECT permissions on the system schemas.

 

GRANT USAGE ON CATALOG  system TO <user_name>;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA information_schema TO <user_name>;
GRANT SELECT ON TABLE <table_name> TO <user_name>;

 

Include <user_name> in backticks ``

 Please note that these commands should be executed by a metastore admin or another privileged user.

Let me know if it helps,

Best,

Alessandro
