Predefined Administrative Roles - Admin Role vs Others

@kseal60 

If the user is assigned the Administrator role, they should not need the other admin roles.

Here is the help documentation on this from https://help-archive.acumatica.com/ if needed.

Technically speaking if anyone get administrator role - can change access rights for himself.
It did not increase your security level unless you added audit and business email with notifications there.
Depending what this user need to do.
I usually need administrator, customizer, report designer and BI. ​​​​​​​

@kseal60 Please review the roles explained as above

Thanks so much, Ed. I have heard a user with the Administrator role would still need the report designer role for example to design reports. Is this true? If so, are there any other roles with access rights not included with this admin role? I have also heard customizer is another role that is needed in addition to the administrator role. Thanks.

I have been. The descriptions make it appear that the other roles are needed in addition to the admin role (such as report designer, customizer, etc.). I want to make sure I know which roles contain access rights that are not included with the admin role. Basically, I want to know which roles are needed to ensure a user has access rights to do literally anything they want. It appears that just the admin role does not do this, but I also want to avoid redundantly assigning roles with overlapping access.
