Re: Special authority use ... Auditing

I have created some special groups which do and do not have certain authorities, then put users in the various groups. This makes it easy to change the rules on clusters of individuals. They either do or do not have security to do certain things. This way I not have to manage all the rules on each person. Just add or remove the groups they in.
I am working to remove or at least limit, the hundreds of Special Authorities that have been assigned to our user profiles. 

Is there a way to audit the use of a special authority like *SAVSYS?
I've always had the QAUDLVL system value option *SAVRST set on, but it apparently only tracks restore issues: 

*SAVRST
    Save and restore information is audited.  The following are some
    examples:
     o  When programs that adopt their owner's user profile are
        restored
     o  When job descriptions that contain user names are restored
     o  When ownership and authority information changes for objects
        that are restored
     o  When the authority for user profiles is restored
     o  When a system state program is restored
     o  When a system command is restored
     o  When an object is restored
I want to know when an operation performed by ANY user profile required the Special Authority *SAVSYS..
Does anyone know how I might be able to do this? If it isn't possible... it sure should be!
