+Limit shown profiles to those for which the given user meets the requirements. (NOTE: doesn't always give correct results! Results might be wrong when using shell command requirements that depend on the users environment. Or when 'group $USER' gives a different result as 'group' executed as $USER, which can happen when adding groups through pam_group).
