Re: Adopted authority

[Tim Bronski <tim.bronski@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
