I know that it is common for folks to have the *OWNER profile have
*ALLOBJ authority, but it isn't always necessary. If a profile owns
all of the objects in an application, then it doesn't really need
*ALLOBJ to administer that application does it? The *ALLOBJ
authority would only be needed if the program wanted to touch secured
objects outside of the application in question.
