Once a SPECIAL user assigns the AUDITOR user attribute to you, your responsibility is to verify that RACF® is meeting your installation's security goals. As a RACF auditor, your job is essentially the same, regardless of whether you have the AUDITOR attribute (with responsibility for checking RACF controls on a user, or system-wide, level) or the group-AUDITOR attribute (with responsibility for checking RACF controls for a group and its subgroups). Whereas a user with the group-AUDITOR attribute can only monitor the users and resources owned by a specific group and its subgroups, the responsibility is so much like that of a user with the AUDITOR attribute that this document applies to both and notes any specific differences.
