Which type of permission is automatically granted to a user marked as a system administrator?

Question

Options

• AFull access to all projects and reports
• BRead-only access to financials
• CAbility to edit only their own tasks
• DLimited access to group-level settings

• A
  77% (43)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  13% (7)
• D
  7% (4)

Explanation

A system administrator role is specifically designed to grant unrestricted, top-level access across an entire platform, which is why option A (Full access to all projects and reports) is correct - this elevated privilege level exists precisely so admins can manage, audit, and control all aspects of the system without barriers.

Option B is wrong because read-only access to financials is a narrow, restricted permission - the opposite of what an all-powerful admin role entails. Option C is wrong because limiting a user to editing only their own tasks describes a standard end-user permission, the lowest level of access. Option D is wrong because limited group-level settings access describes a mid-tier role (like a group manager), not a system-wide administrator.

Memory tip: Think of "system" in system administrator as meaning the whole system - if you're admin of everything, you get access to everything. When you see "full access to all," that's the hallmark of a top-level admin role.
