Comment :  In this requirement in item (b), the terms "person" and "individual" are used to describe the operators of the system, yet these terms don't properly define the intent of the requirement, which is to identify the operator's specific functional role.  There should be clarification requiring the vendor to "Specify whether the functional role of an individual's authorization..." rather than each "person" or "individual".

Proposed change:  Replace "Specify whether an individual's authorization..." with "Specify whether the functional role of an individual's authorization..."
