Description
The API currently uses a full database admin to access the database - we should set up a specific user for the API that only has read and write permissions on the data.
Acceptance criteria:
- A new user exists for the database with only read and write permissions on the database.
- The API uses this lower permission database user.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the API's database connection configuration and the database or deployment setup, then identify where the current administrator credentials and permissions are defined. Done means a separate read-write database user is configured and the API uses it, with access verified without administrative permissions.
