Funny you should mention that... I was testing that too.
The docs say:
And I swear it used to behave just like it says.
But I cannot seem to get it to act that way. I suspect that somebody realized that that is a really bad idea a few releases ago and fixed it. But never told the documentation people. Or any of the rest of us.
Perhaps some of those still running ancient, obsolete and unsupported releases could run some tests and we could try to find out when it changed?
In this case I find that I am not at all upset that backward compatibility seems to have been broken.
The docs say:
If a user is logged into the system as root, the AVM allows access to the procedure even if access is denied by the id-list. You must specifically deny root access by adding !root to the id-list.
