Fixed.

Fixed.

This is now handled by separate functions. The updateProfile() is used 
by the admin to modify the profile configuration and submit it for 
approval. The changeProfileStatus() is used by the agent to 
approve/reject the changes or to enable/disable the profile after that.

If we do not want to require agent approval (by removing Profiles from 
the approval list), the admin will be able to enable/disable the 
profiles directly.

Fixed.

To generalize this function we will need to have separate update and 
change status methods in each resource. Let's see if the current logic 
in TPS profile is correct, then we can refactor it for reuse in other 
resources.
