DNG User with 'Administrator' role vs user in list of 'Administrators'
3 answers
Hi Sean,
^Thanks for the pointers Carol.
>>We don't have CM turned on so I may be wrong, but I think that the Administrator section on Overview relates to the Configuration Administrator Role.
The Administrator roles says
In addition to the Author capabilities, an Administrator can modify artifact types, data types, attribute types, reviews, project and artifact templates, and project areas.
The Configuration Administrator roles says
Users with this role can create, modify and archive configurations. This role also allows users to deliver other users change sets.
The wording for the Administrator section says
If you require permissions, contact an administrator. Project administrators can modify and save this project area and its team areas.
I am not sure but I think it means members in the Administrator list can add/modify/remove members from the Members list above and also from team areas and also modify other properties on the 'Manage This Project Area' page (timelines, roles, etc.)

You're on the right track.
Users in the Administrator list can make modifications in the "Manage This Project Area" page such as adding new users, changing roles, etc. However, they do not necessarily have permissions to do things inside the project itself such as creating artifacts.
For example, UserA is in the Administrator list and the Members list, but in the Members list he only has an Author role. By default, that means he cannot create Shared Views or Save Types, and other actions that are limited by his role's (Author) permissions. However, he is able to go into "Manage This Project Area" and make changes there.

^Thanks
If there was a name/title for that section of the project area:- timelines/roles/members etc.(e.g. 'Project Area Settings') then they could change the wording
If you require permissions, contact an administrator. Project administrators can add users and modify the values in Project Area Settings
The other DNG project configuration area (link types/artifact types/attribute types etc.) could use a title too like 'RM Settings'.
