I am doing a fresh installation and starting with a database built
from the most recent vcl.sql from the SVN. I've configured my
frontend and management node, according to these instructions: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/vcl/trunk/INSTALLATION
I've added my management node to the DB, but I couldn't get the vcld
process to start cleanly without the following complaint from the log:

I believe this is default user permissions bug because when I give my
vcl user in the database full permissions (All Privileges) instead of
the recommended in the instructions (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE),
it works. What are the right permissions for a frontend user? What
are the right permissions for a backend user? Do the instructions
need to be updated?
Best,
