Only for TEMP scope. When you do CreateDevice() or CreateProfile()
then the first parameter is the ID, and the second is the scope.

Scope TEMP is 'process' (e.g. if CUPS crashes they get removed),
NORMAL is 'system', i.e. gets removed on reboot but not on process
exit, and DISK is permanent, and gets saved in a database to live
across reboots.
