+Feature: #82266 - Backend Users System Maintainers
+==================================================
+
+See :issue:`82266`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+A new role for Backend Users is introduced - System Maintainers. These maintainers ("super admins")
+are able to access the install tool modules from within the TYPO3 Backend, thus, the only place
+to modify the system-wide configuration located in :php:`$TYPO3_CONF_VARS`, respectively
+LocalConfiguration.php.
+
+Extension management and language pack handling are also "system management" and thus restricted
+to the new system management role.
+
+The list of allowed admins that are assigned as system maintainers can only be done within the TYPO3
+Install Tool or by modifying the new configuration option :php:`TYPO3_CONF_VARS[SYS][systemMaintainers]`.
+
+If no system maintainer is set up, then all administrators are assigned the system maintainer role.
+
+In Development context, all administrators are system maintainers as well.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+It is now possible to only allow access the install tool from within the TYPO3 Backend for certain
+Backend Users.
+
+Registering Backend Modules can now be restricted to "systemMaintainer" access, so they are only
+shown for selected administrators.
