Information

If authorized individuals do not have the ability to modify auditing parameters in response to a changing threat environment, the organization may not be able to effectively respond, and important forensic information may be lost.

This requirement enables organizations to extend or limit auditing as necessary to meet organizational requirements. Auditing that is limited to conserve information system resources may be extended to address certain threat situations. In addition, auditing may be limited to a specific set of events to facilitate audit reduction, analysis, and reporting.

Solution

Create a role 'auditadm' that is assigned with security related authorization with the following commend:
# mkrole authorizations='aix.security.audit,aix.security.user.audit,aix.security.role.audit' auditadm
