Description

Currently getTableDescriptor requires a user to have Admin or Create permissions. A client might need to get table descriptors to act accordingly eg. based on an attribute set or a CP loaded. It should not be necessary for the client to have create or admin privileges just to read the descriptor, execute and/or read permission should be sufficient?
