OVERVIEW

...

Note: MANAGE_SYSTEM is a System/GlobalAdmin role permission only. It is used to allow the SysAdmins to perform actions that are available only unique to them their role - for example, to set permissions on the other admins roles (by design the newly introduced admin roles cannot change the permissions of their peers, only the System Admin can).

...

Most API calls that were previously gated by the MANAGE_SYSTEM permission are now gated by the READ_* permissions for the get() calls and WRITE_* permission for the create, patch and update calls.
If we need to have more granular access to an API method that corresponds to the functionality of a sub-section in the System Console (like in the User Manager case), we will gate those calls on a case by case (a single panel functionality in the System Console panel can map to one or more API calls).
