Re: Make IWS use a specific profile

When you deploy a web service, you have the ability to indicate the user 
profile the web service should run under. 

You can change the user profile for deployed web services by going to the 
Security tab after clicking on the Properties button for a web service. 

Note that any user profile you specify must give *USE access to the web 
services SERVER user profile. 

If you still cannot get this to work, assuming you are on latest HTTP 
group, open a PMR/ticket.
