Update User Table Schema

[Alon Peretz]

Task Definition

What?
Update the user table in the database to include a new column role and mark the existing roles column as deprecated.

Why?
To transition from potentially multiple roles (implied by the plural) to a singular, definitive role for each user, aligning with RBAC standards.

How?

• Alter the user table to add a new column named role with an integer data type.
• Use a database migration script for this alteration.
• In the codebase, add a deprecation comment to the roles column definition to notify developers:

  /** @deprecated use role instead */

• Ensure the migration script includes setting a default role (e.g., VIEWER) for existing users without a defined role.

Acceptance Criteria:

• role column exists in the user table.
• roles column is marked as deprecated in the codebase.
• Existing users without a role have been assigned the VIEWER role.
