§ 01 / WHO IT IS FOR

The role behind the track.

An administrator is not a developer and not a business analyst. They are the operational guardian of the running configuration. They understand workflows well enough to tune them, identity well enough to grant access without weakening posture, monitoring well enough to know when an SLA is at risk before a user files a ticket. In a typical 200-user agency deployment, two to three administrators is the right complement.
