# Special administrative roles

# Special administrative roles {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Xanadu
* 
* Updated August 1, 2024

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 3 minutes to read

Certain roles grant specific administrative rights without the full privileges of the
admin role. For example, an administrator can grant a user the right to change UI policy but not
client scripts.
To learn more about managing per-user subscriptions, see [Managing per-user subscriptions in Subscription Management](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/h21Xj9p3zjQX5wajhSRSlQ "Manage your per-user subscription allocations using Subscription Management.") and contact your account representative.
These roles don't change the behavior of the admin role, which grants full administrative privileges.  
Important:  
You can't rename roles of any kind in the ServiceNow AI Platform
