Systems Administrator role - unable to access everything

[HHH]

I thought the system administrator user/role gave access to everything but in order to see CI's we need to set that user as a subscriber to the service. Is this intentional? It doesn't seem right, SA should be allowed everything.

@HHH the system admin role (to be more precise the ("Admin" and "Super User" roles) does give access to everything in the admin tool only. These roles however do not give a user access to an application (such as "Service Manager"). To give administrative or management rights to a user for an application you (as a system admin) will have to give the user the respective application rights. Only a system administrator is able to allocate full application rights to a user. Any other user is only able to allocate rights up to his level of privilege and only "Super User" role is able to associate roles for a newly installed application.
