Well, seems that this is controlled by "AUTH Role" for USER, I think
it would be useful to put this flag in roles too and not only in
users. I have for example one force role that makes all logging
granted to syslog-ng. If I'm not wrong AUTH search if this flag is
switched to secoff or auditor to grant the access to rsbac_log. It
depend of the existance of a user with this switch. Adding it to roles
instead users would be better in my opinion.
