Note This session can only be run by the following administrative user accounts "root" on a Unix platform "baan" on a Windows 2000 platform "QSECOFR" on an AS400/OS400 platform Audit authorizations can be defined for normal users and for super users as well. By default, a super user has no audit authorization. You must define audit authorizations only for users that need to perform actions, such as print or purge, on audit files. You can select different check boxes to indicate which actions the user is allowed to perform on the audit files of a table: The Print check box The Purge check box The Maintain check box Note These authorization levels are overruled by the security embedded in the audit files, which is defined in the Audit Trail Security (ttaud3137m000) session: users can only perform the actions they are authorized for, if these actions are allowed in the audit trail security settings. Example A user is authorized to print the sequence files of all tables. In the audit trail security settings, printing is prohibited for table tccom000. As a result the user can not print the sequence files of this table. Related topics To use From and To fields
