I've a few routines that use profile handles which also adopt authority to 
perform the switch. Either you need the password of the profile you're 
adopting, or the profile running the switch needs *ALLOBJ (or full rights 
to the profile in question). Providing the password doesn't seem very 
secure (unless prompted for, maybe) so I assume you'd want 
usrprf(*owner).
