Understand how to use roles to control what the administrators of your system can do.

Essentially, administrator roles allow you to assign permissions to groups of administrators. Roles allow you to cater for the different administrators of your system by limiting what some users can do (and break), while giving others more power and responsibility.

In order to manage roles, you need to have access to the configuration page. Access to configuration is itself controlled by roles - so if you don't have access, someone has decided that they don't want you messing around with this stuff! If you need to configure roles and think you're trustworthy enough, you'll need to find someone who has this access and get them to let you in. Otherwise, don't worry about it - there are already people at your institution handling roles.
