Super admin role
In addition to custom roles, every IPS installation has a default role ROLE_SUPER with permission to all operations.
The default admin login of the evaluation distribution has this role.
If you detach ROLE_SUPER from AdminGroup,
or remove any role- and/or permission-related permissions from ROLE_SUPER,
you will permanently lose access to role and/or permission management.
