What does this PR do?
This PR adds checks to the enroll command to respond with an error message in case the user executing the command and the user that's the owner of the elastic program files don't match. Replaces #6038 based on the following comment
Why is it important?
Currently there are no checks in place to prevent or correct the situation where a user who is not the owner of the program files executes enroll. This leads to a broken state.
