Explanation

System administrators in Workfront operate at the system level, giving them control over global configurations and user account management. Option A is correct because modifying system statuses (e.g., Planning, Current, Complete) is a system-wide setting only admins can change - it affects all projects across the instance. Option C is correct because resetting user passwords is a core user account management function exclusive to system administrators.

Option B is wrong because granting project-specific permissions is done at the project level by the project owner or anyone with Manage access to that project - not a system admin function. Option D is wrong because creating custom proofing workflows is a feature available to Proof Administrators or users with the appropriate proofing license/role, not system administrators specifically.

Memory tip: Think "SYSTEM admin = SYSTEM-wide tasks." If an action affects one project or one feature area (proofing), it belongs to a role closer to that scope. Admins own the infrastructure - statuses, users, global settings.
