Comment :  In this requirement in item (a), 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 "identify the functional role of each person to whom access is granted"  rather than each "person" or "individual".

Proposed change:  Replace "Identify each person to whom access is granted," with "Identify the functional role of each person to whom access is granted,".
