The security log contains security events and information. RBAC restricts access to audit and security logs based on the CLI sessions’ user
roles. The types of information in this log consist of the following:
• Establishment of secure trac ows, such as SSH.
• Violations on secure ows or certicate issues.
• Adding and deleting of users.
• User access and conguration changes to the security and crypto parameters (not the key information but the crypto conguration)
Important Points to Remember
When you enabled RBAC and extended logging:
• Only the system administrator user role can execute this command.
• The system administrator and system security administrator user roles can view security events and system events.
• The system administrator user roles can view audit, security, and system events.
• Only the system administrator and security administrator user roles can view security logs.
• The network administrator and network operator user roles can view system events.
NOTE: If extended logging is disabled, you can only view system events, regardless of RBAC user role.
Example of Enabling Audit and Security Logs
