Hello,

Is there any way to hide schemas and relations a user does not have
access privileges for?

I suspect that the client (in this case, unavoidably excel via OLAP and
ODBC) gets this information via querying meta tables, so there is no way
to protect foreign schemas and relations from beeing seen.

Thanks,
Markus

Yes, you are correct. I'm not aware of any way to hide this information.

Obviously, everyone needs access to the system tables and at present 
there is no system in place to restrict access to viewing all their 
contents.
