Description

This patch adds more tests for table and view authorization and also fixes a number of issues found during testing -

• View authorization should happen on only on the view, and not the underlying table (Change in ReadEntity to indicate if it is a direct/indirect dependency)
• table owner in metadata should be the user as per SessionState authentication provider
• added utility function for finding the session state authentication provider user
• authorization should be based on current roles
• admin user should have all permissions
• error message improvements
