Bug #88810

Naming of admin vs. system maintainer privilege levels and modules is confusing
0%
Description
I find it confusing, that "admin" has access to SYSTEM module while system maintainer has additional access to ADMIN TOOLS (contrary to the admin).
Solution might be to switch the names for ADMIN TOOLS and SYSTEM module.
admin user¶
- is called admin in db: be_users.admin
- is called admin in BE users form
- has additional access to SYSTEM module (but not to ADMIN TOOLS)
system maintainer¶
- has additional access to "ADMIN TOOLS"

2. (2 votes) [!] name it to "System Tools", switch "Admin Tools" <-- > "System" but only change the labels (not the module signature), leave ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL
3. (5 votes) huge [!!!] switch "Admin Tools" and "System" BE modules, name "Install Tool to "System Tools" and rename ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL to ENABLE_SYSTEM_TOOLS
4. (1 vote) something else?

I would like to close this. Making this kind of change is quiete a nightmare.
If someone wants to take it up and major core people ok with this, it can be reopened.
