Users with the system_admin role have access to everything in the CMS such as all the modules in the Main Menu for managing users, groups, etc., all the sites and configuration files, creating/editing layouts, templates, taxonomies, content types, scripts, etc. in addition to creating and editing content, as well as the ability to approve and reject workflow.
