Discussion

If authorized individuals do not have the ability to modify auditing parameters in response to a changing threat environment, the organization may not be able to effectively respond, and important forensic information may be lost. This requirement enables organizations to extend or limit auditing as necessary to meet organizational requirements. Auditing that is limited to conserve information system resources may be extended to address certain threat situations. In addition, auditing may be limited to a specific set of events to facilitate audit reduction, analysis, and reporting.

Verify that an audit admin role has been configured to include the authorizations for auditing, namely "aix.security.audit,aix.security.user.audit,aix.security.role.audit": 

# lsrole ALL |grep "aix.security.audit" |grep "aix.security.user.audit" |grep "aix.security.role.audit"
auditadm authorizations=aix.security.audit,aix.security.user.audit,aix.security.role.audit rolelist= groups= visibility=1 screens=* dfltmsg=Audit Administrator msgcat=role_desc.cat msgnum=15 msgset=1 auth_mode=INVOKER id=16

If the above command has no output, this is a finding.
