PD-0005: Definition of Security Relevant

This decision represents a long-term technical decision based on an OD, and may not be the same as the final results of the source OD. With respect to published criteria documentation and scheme documents, it provides suggested guidance on evaluation direction, but is not authoritative. Authoritative decisions are provided through the published criteria documents and published scheme and international interpretations thereof. With respect to published PPs, PDs are authoritative corrections to the PP, based on input from the PP author (if available), that are in force until the publication of the next revision of that PP.

Issue

The AGD_ADM.1.6C requirement states

The administrator guidance shall describe each type of security-relevant event relative to the administrator functions that need to be performed, including changing the security characteristics of entities under the control of the TSF.

AGD_ADM.1.1C states that administrator functions must be defined. The terminology of security-relevant "event" is confusing in the AGD ADM. 1.6C requirement. Is an event the same as a function or something different?
