In Manta Admin UI - cDB2 connection validation should be successful when user is mapped to a DB Group/Role

Why is it useful? 

This ensures that required permissions needed by IBM Manta is in place. The scanner for cDB2 will produce desired data lineage for cDB2 database. 

Who would benefit from it? 

IBM Manta users.

How should it work? 

In Manta Admin  UI - There should be not be any connection validation issues when a user is mapped to a role or group and the required permissions are granted by DBA to role to which user is mapped indirectly.
