Only allow the creator of a given map to delete it

Currently any user that has the ability to create maps also has the ability to delete them regardless of who the original creator was. This coupled with the current view in DVM Studio that displays the entire subsystem instead of just a subset of maps that are part of a developer's "project" increased the change of an accidental deletion.

    This introduces the concepts of roles for the system programmer, DBA, and developer personas. Based upon a specific user's role, certain authorization, access, and authority would be allowed. Certainly, a user should not be able to delete a virtual object or any metadata they do not own.

    So this could be managed based on pure ownership of the object and any GRANTs to other users or it could be managed through usability in the interface to display only capabilities that are pertinent to the user's role.
