Some scripts allow for customization of the administration template. Since we all work differently customizations can be very helpful. It is a wise idea to get accustomed to a template of any kind before setting out to change it.

Administrator

A user level in a protected site. Normally the administrator will have access to all front end and back end capabilities.
