Why I should be kept busy

When you let JBot make companywide announcements, this is what you get.
Introducing the Super Admins™
In the past, there have been users who have wanted more from [our site]. They didn’t want to be just Group Admins, they wanted to be Masters of their Universe. They wanted to be able to monitor any teacher or any student within their vast domain. We had been accommodating these Super Users™ by adding them to groups upon groups to satisfy their insatiable need to be all knowing.
Well, this is kind of a pain in the… as you can imagine. So a new feature has been added to [our site] and [our other site] to allow these Super Users™ the omnipresence they so desire, while relinquishing the burden upon us lowly employees.
We have now created the ability for these users to not just be Super Users™ but Super Admins™.
Besides the obvious benefits of self satisfaction and a custom cape, this functionality allows for these Super Admins™ to be just that, super, uber, all knowing and all seeing admins.
Basically, they can do everything a regular admin can do, only to A LOT more groups and WITHOUT having to be a member of those groups.
They DO NOT get any special powers (I neglected to mention that to them and, instead, distracted them with spandex outfits). They are JUST Group Admins with access to more groups.
They can view student work and even send messages to EVERYONE within their vast domain. They cannot delete anything a normal admin could not.
Super Admins™ have to be a part of a Site License, however. Otherwise, their super powers will go unused…
