Right. This can already be done for TLS. Otherwise, you're saying everyone
with credentials on the server can run all the operations via this profile
identically. I don't think that's actually going to be too common.

Putting a call in the start routine that says "is my configuration flag set?
If so, is the user name non-empty? If so, go ahead" makes sense. The profile
is still going to have to generate a profile-specific message denying
permission to open the channel.
