Description
Brought up in the last database meeting: security roles seem to be inconsistent and at the very least require redundant roles for full functionality. In particular the CDA user is required to have both CWMS admin and PD user roles.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the CWMS database security-role definitions and reviewing the database meeting context, then trace the roles required by a CDA user. Done means the inconsistent or redundant role requirements are resolved and the resulting CDA permissions are documented or covered by the repository's existing verification process.
