VDIST-1129User groups - default administrator groupIssue2.3.3GeneralDuring the system updates, we need a way to be sure which group is an administrator account, to setup access to new features, new enquiries etc so that customers know they exist.

When systems are first setup, an administrator group is created by default. Some customers change the name of this and later may not use it as an administrator group.

Changes will be implemented to ensure that there is always a top level administrator group which our accounts will be linked to, as well as the default customer administrator accounts and this will not be able to be changed.
