Why is workspace_list_admin under elevated privileges?

I get why security_admin is there but the ability to edit workspace lists seems a bit trivial for elevation?   Just curious if anyone has any info on this?

Hi Craig,

Documentation explains why SN may decide to require elevation for a role:

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

 

This said, you may well remove that constraint in unchecking the "Elevated privilege" on this role:

JP, I'm not asking what is an elevated role or how to hide them.  I'm curious of the design decision to make workspace_list_admin an elevated role.   Seems like a very minor thing to have in elevated roles.  Am curious if others know the reason for this.
