Overview
The admin interface for our CMS controls a number of disparate functions, from user management to metadata assignment. Admin is an all-or-nothing permission, currently held by two staff members: Megan Forbes and Jesse Martinez. Jesse is not a regular end-user of the system; rather, he is responsible for system maintenance, upgrades, fixes - anything that requires getting into the code. Megan is responsible for everything else described below.
System Administration
Contains two logs, the event log and task queue log. The event logs contains logs for debugging, errors, logins, and login failures. The task queue log contains logs for the media processing queue.
Use: Never
Notes:
- Never used not necessarily because it's not useful, but because system administration/oversight is somewhat lacking at the moment given the time constraints of the system administrator

Access Administration
Contains interfaces for user login management and user role management.
Use: Frequent
Notes:
- Although there is an interface for user role creation, it is not possible for the sysadmin to assign permission to newly created roles, rendering the functionality more-or-less non functional.
- There are no definitions for existing roles.
- The admin may inactive users while maintaining their accounts, which is useful.
