Looks like we have two threads for the same things. Can we consolidate them?

A question while reviewing PR 5659: How should we authorize metrics queries
that span multiple tables, such as all tables under a namespace?

A namespace-level TABLE_READ_METRICS grant could cover descendant tables.
But if a user only has grants on some tables, should the query return
metrics for those tables, or fail because they cannot access the entire
namespace? Or is a batch authorization API needed in this case?

What behavior do we want the query API to guarantee?
