REFRESH TABLE METADATA fails after upgrade from Drill 1.13.0 to Drill 1.15.0

In sqlline logging in as regular user "alice" or Drill process user "admin" gives the same error (permission denied)
If this helps, here's also what I am seeing on sqlline

Error message contains random but valid user's names other than the user (Alice) that logged in to refresh the metadata. Looks like during the refresh metadata drillbits seems to incorrectly try the metadata generation as some random user which obviously does not have write access
