When using elevated privilege on the admin role, why is it not supported and what kind of unexpected behavior could it cause?

[Donal]

Hi Folks,

My team would like to mark the admin role as Elevated Privilege in all instances especially DEV. This would force admin users to elevate when they start a new session and require admin functionality.

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/sandiego-platform-administration/page/administer/security/concept/c_ElevatedPrivilege.html

The above document states: Warning: The use of elevated privilege on the admin role is not supported and may cause unexpected behavior.

Does anyone know why this is not supported?
Does anyone know what kind of unexpected behaviour it may cause?

Thanks so much

Donal

I would think this would work, but I haven't tested;  https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/washingtondc-platform-security/page/administer/security/task/t_Fo...
