Chuck,

We use goup profiles. Yes, every user has the authority which is needed.
Approx 200 profiles.

Chris,

What is your standard method for securing objects?  I.e., do you utilize
group profiles or authorization lists?  Is every user simply granted
authority to what they need?  Out of curiosity, how many user profiles
are there on your system?
