Okay, I must admit that this is a new one on me. Our HA vendor is asking for an SST profile. I can't for the life of me figure out why they would want such a thing, and I am loathe to give anyone SST access to our server. It's bad enough that we're wrangling over *SERVICE authority for their interactive profiles.

Can anyone give me a good reason that someone would want an SST profile on our box? They evidently want Display/Alter/Dump privileges, which sounds just a little dangerous to me.
