Access to the audit trail

Standard users must not be able to view or alter audit files. The audit trail (that is, the audit files) must be accessed only with the onshowaudit utility, which has its own protection, as follows:

• With role separation on, only an AAO can run onshowaudit.
• With role separation off on UNIX, only user informix, a member of the informix group, or user root can run onshowaudit.
• With role separation off on Windows, only user informix can run onshowaudit.
