Administrator Role
- Full control over site settings (menus, widgets (network set to home page), custom CSS, etc.).
- Can manage users (add/remove users, change roles).
- Can activate and deactivate existing network-approved plugins.
- Cannot install new plugins or themes (this is network controlled).
- Increased risk: Incorrect changes to site settings or plugins may impact site functionality, and any content changes (e.g., deletions) could be difficult to recover.
