Self-hosted Storyden instances running 1.26.16 or earlier where a non-administrator role (e.g. community-manager or junior staff) holds MANAGE_ROLES. Such a holder can give the Admin role to another account, or create/update roles with ADMINISTRATOR, and take full control. Instances where only administrators hold MANAGE_ROLES can skip it.
