Usage guidelines
The system buffers security logs into the security log file buffer temporarily. When a saving operation is
performed automatically or manually, the system saves the contents of the security log file buffer into the
security log file. After that, the system automatically clears the security log file buffer.
A local user can use this command only after being authorized as the security log administrator by the
system administrator through the authorization-attribute user-role security-audit command. For more
information about the authorization-attribute command, see Access Control Command Reference.
