## Syntax  
  
```  
  
sp_syspolicy_set_log_on_success [ @value = ] value  
```  
  
## Arguments  
`[ @value = ] value`
 Determines whether successful policy evaluations are logged. *value* is **sqlvariant**, and can be one of the following values:  
  
-   0 or 'false' = Successful policy evaluations are not logged.  
  
-   1 or 'true' = Successful policy evaluations are logged.  
  
## Return Code Values  
 **0** (success) or **1** (failure)  
  
## Remarks  
 You must run sp_syspolicy_set_log_on_success in the context of the msdb system database.  
  
 When *value* is set to 0 or to 'false', only failed policy evaluations are logged.  
  
## Permissions  
 Requires membership in the PolicyAdministratorRole fixed database role.  
  
> **IMPORTANT!!** Possible elevation of credentials: Users in the PolicyAdministratorRole role can create server triggers and schedule policy executions that can affect the operation of the instance of the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)]. For example, users in the PolicyAdministratorRole role can create a policy that can prevent most objects from being created in the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)]. Because of this possible elevation of credentials, the PolicyAdministratorRole role should be granted only to users who are trusted with controlling the configuration of the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)].  
  
## Examples  
 The following example enables the logging of successful policy evaluations.  
  
```  
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_syspolicy_set_log_on_success @value = 1;  
  
GO  
```
