Re: Adopted authority

Hi Chuck,

More specifically, I'd like to know in a program the name of the profile whose authority I'm adopting - if any. I need to test for certain special authorities before attempting/reporting certain operations. Testing the effects of not having the authority is a least favored method. I can retrieve the current user profile but that doesn't give me the full picture if I'm adopting authority from the caller.

Generally knowing of adoption is not relevant outside the program itself; i.e. the current program /knows/ if the thread is adopting, based on the effects of the [in]ability to resolve to an object that requires the adopted authority. That is to suggest, either the program fails with an exception x0A01 [MCH1001] per authority is unavailable, else the program gains privilege via the adopted authority.
