This is a terrible idea security-wise. You are basically giving that user the whole system, which will never pass any security audit.
What version of Solaris do you have? There are better ways to do this.

audit_binfile
audit_binfile(5) Standards, Environments, and Macros audit_binfile(5)
NAME
audit_binfile - generation of Solaris audit logs
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/security/audit_binfile.so
DESCRIPTION
The audit_binfile plugin module for Solaris audit, /usr/lib/security/audit_binfile.so, writes binary audit data to files as configured in
audit_control(4); it is the default plugin for the Solaris audit daemon auditd(1M). Its output is described by audit.log(4).
The audit_binfile plugin is loaded by auditd if audit_control contains one or more lines defining audit directories by means of the dir:
specification or if audit_control has a plugin: specification of name=audit_binfile.so.
OBJECT ATTRIBUTES
The p_dir and p_minfree attributes are equivalent to the dir: and minfree: lines described in audit_control. If both the dir: line and the
p_dir attribute are used, the plugin combines all directories into a single list with those specified by means of dir: at the front of the
list. If both the minfree and the p_minfree attributes are given, the p_minfree value is used.
EXAMPLES
The following directives cause audit_binfile.so to be loaded, specify the directories for writing audit logs, and specify the percentage of
required free space per directory.
flags: lo,ad,-fm
naflags: lo,ad
plugin: name=audit_binfile.so;
p_minfree=20;
p_dir=/etc/security/jedgar/eggplant,
/etc/security/jedgar.aux/eggplant,
/etc/security/global/eggplant
