RE: Special authority use ... Auditing

Actually what I'm trying to do is gain an understanding what processes
in my shop require Special Authority... I was hoping to analyze the
audit journal for the last few months to get this information.

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.
