To a role: yes, assign that role to a user: yes; assign it to a user,
not such a good idea.

The only profiles which should be given to a user are "innocent", e.g., 
something firefox might run without destroying the system.

Yes, the PA is not a good idea.

What I would like is:

        - a role which you can assume by typing your own password, not the 
role
        - but I would like it to keep the same uid as the user
          (making the role a different uid in the credential)
