Objectives
Administrator guidance refers to written material that is intended to be used by those persons responsible for configuring, maintaining, and administering the TOE in a correct manner for maximum security. Because the secure operation of the TOE is dependent upon the correct performance of the TSF, persons responsible for performing these functions are trusted by the TSF. Administrator guidance is intended to help administrators understand the security functions provided by the TOE, including both those functions that require the administrator to perform security-critical actions and those functions that provide security-critical information.

Application notes
The requirements AGD_ADM.1.3C and AGD_ADM.1.7C encompass the aspect that any warnings to the users of a TOE with regard to the TOE security environment and the security objectives described in the PP/ST are appropriately covered in the administrator guidance.
The concept of secure values, as employed in AGD_ADM.1.5C, has relevance where an administrator has control over security parameters. Guidance needs to be provided on secure and insecure settings for such parameters. This concept is related to the use of the component FMT_MSA.2 from CC Part 2.
