Xcode - How to profile an application as root?

macos, profiler, root, xcode, xcode-scheme

Solution

The solution is to run Instruments as root and attach to the process.

To run Instruments as root:

sudo /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/MacOS/Ins‌​truments

Problem

Xcode will allow me to run my application as root (the "Debug Process As" option in the scheme allows you to select "Me" or "root"). How can I run it through the profiler as root? I'm using Xcode 4.6.3.
