Hum. In one hand they can maintain their own information updated with the
most recently information. In the other hand hey can cheat data or their
record .
Assuming that internal policy states that the user must update its own
information, you'll know how cheated .
Of course you always have auditing to check who did it, tracking that
information can be "PITA"
