RE: Problems with adopting authority

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Kurt:

Yeah, I guess my wording was a little vague at a number of points -- better I'd 
said at step 3 also to grab the current user profile handle for use later. (But 
Rob's shown that he's pretty good, so I tend to skip things with him.)

My understanding is that profiles such as QTCP are restricted in this way 
primarily in order to prevent switching _to_ those profiles. The provision of 
*CURRENT for the UserId parm avoids this issue in the case where the programmer 
is switching _from_ those profiles and needs to return later..

You (or anyone else) wouldn't happen to have additional thoughts on other 
reasons these profiles might be restricted?
