Note: a) The ‘System administrator’ will always have access to the ‘Start/stop background’, ‘Renew license’ and ‘Update version’ buttons as the newly added toggle ‘Allow system maintenance’ is by default enabled and set as ‘Read-only’ on his/her role

b) Existing users (Admin) cannot access the 'Start/Stop background', 'Renew license' and 'Update version' buttons as the added toggle 'Allow system maintenance' is disabled by default on the 'Edit role' screen. The ‘System administrator’ has to give them access to do any of this.
