Privileged gnatsd commands

Every gnatsd command has a minimum access level attached to it. If your access level is too low for a command, you get this response:

       422 You are not authorized to perform this operation (LOCK).

The commands CHDB, USER and QUIT are unrestricted.

The DBLS command requires at least listdb access.

A user must have at least edit access for these commands:
