example: a vendor product needs to have *ALLOBJ for brief periods
(for whatever reason that does not concern us). It is better that he
has a mechanism to quietly grab that authority only when he needs
it and then letting it go when done, rather than run everything with
*ALLOBJ in system state etc all the time. To run "system high"
(as the military jargon goes) is convenient but is an overkill and
can be dangerous as you have too much power and can do
damage (e.g. if there are bugs in your product).
