Cause (Documented platform behavior): Default ClickHouse user lacks access management rights required to create row policies.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- docker compose down --volumes deletes data volumes.

Proposed fix: [LangSmith self-hosted Docker] ClickHouse 'code: 497 ... Not enough privileges ... necessary to have the grant CREATE ROW POLICY ON default.feedbacks_rmt' — users.xml with access_managem
Recommended action: Copy the provided users.xml into /etc/clickhouse-server/users.d/; if the mount point is not writable/readable, build a custom ClickHouse image with users.xml baked in and remove the mount, then docker compose down --volumes and up.
Option: Deploy users.xml with access_management [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Docker self-host
Steps:
1. Copy users.xml from the LangSmith deployment repo
2. Mount it at /etc/clickhouse-server/users.d/users.xml, or build FROM clickhouse/clickhouse-server:<ver> with COPY users.xml
3. Restart the stack
Expected: Row policies can be created
