Special administrative roles

Certain roles grant specific administrative rights without the full privileges of the admin role. For example, an administrator can grant a user the right to change UI policy but not client scripts.

To learn more about managing per-user subscriptions, see Managing per-user subscriptions in Subscription Management and contact your account representative.

These roles don’t change the behavior of the admin role, which grants full administrative privileges.
