Ingest API Authorization changes

Changes were made to the authorization mechanism for the Avalon Ingest API in Avalon 7.0. In previous versions, user sessions authenticated with an API token were granted admin user access. In version 7.0 and later, user sessions authenticated with an API token will be granted the same access as the token's associated user. The means that when upgrading to Avalon 7.0, any API tokens in use must be checked to ensure that their associated users have the necessary permissions to perform API functions.
