Hi Leo,

Site admins have permission across the entire server. There are some actions that can only be performed by site admins, like creating projects, changing which paths on the underlying file system are exposed, and so forth.

Admins have permission to do administration within a more targeted scope, like a particular project or folder. They can do things like add users, assign permissions, create assay designs, create subfolders, and more.

Thanks,
Josh
