USERS
The Storage Service has two types of users: administrative users, and regular users. The only distinction between the two types is for email notifications; administrators will be notified by email when special events occur, while regular users will not. Only registered users can long into the Storage Service.
However, the storage service itself implies some level of permissions are used:
There aren't any ways to provide "permissions" in the storage service, other than to create a new user who can log in. All users are equally able to create spaces, locations, download packages, etc.
Description of the issue
For now, I feel the UI should be clearer about what a user can and cannot do with this permission. Those actions are (as far as I can tell):
Receive emails in various circumstances.
Create another user with equal permissions across the storage service.
Suggested fix
As above. Perhaps where the Administrator? text is, it can be replaced with, receives email notifications and create new users? (it feels like there are other UX issues here).
Administrative user might be changed in the docs as well. Additionally, I feel it would be beneficial to folk for us to expand on what is a special event and provide some indication of what the email output looks like from the storage service. This would be useful for all, for various reasons, trying to understand the desired behavior of this feature.
