Name of API affected:
Analytics Management API

Request summary:
Include the user type (i.e. admin or viewer) in the Profile Feed for the user 
requesting it.

Use Cases:
In a web application that builds on the API it can be important to know what 
rights a user has for a profile - in order to derive his permissions for the 
app. Without this data the application has to build a separate permission 
system on top of Google Analytics' one. Also, it's impossible to "claim" a 
profile because all users that have access to it are equal, which is everything 
but practical.

Removing an obsolete label that was used when these issues were in the 
gdata-issues project.
