I've found a list of things that Jira SYSTEM Admins can do that a Jira Admin cannot.  That was helpful, but I can't find the list of things that a user can do once granted the "Jira Administrators" permission.

 

Thanks in advance

I couldn't find anything, so I went through the admin menus and put this together... It's not comprehensive, but I think it does a good job of explaining what permissions will be removed when reducing how many users have the Administer Jira permission.

 

System Permissions 
 Edit Jira System Settings
 Link Jira to new applications
 Install Jira Addons
 Manage global Addon settings
 Manage Users and User Groups
 Edit Global Permissions
 Create/Edit Jira Automation Rules
 Edit Jira default user preferences
 Edit Jira System Dashboard
 Import/Export CSV
 Configure mail handlers
 Configure listeners
  
Project Permissions 
 Create New Projects
 Delete Projects
 Archive Projects
 Create new project roles
 Change project scheme configurations
  
Issue Permissions 
 Create/Edit issue types and schemes
 Create/Edit Workflows and Schemes
 Create/Edit Screens and Schemes
 Create/Edit Custom Fields and Schemes
 Edit System Fields
 Edit Field Configuration and schemes
 Edit Priorities and Schemes
 Globally enable/disable time tracking
 Globally enable/disable issue linking
 Create/Edit Workflow Statuses
 Create Edit Resolutions
 Create/Edit Issue security Schemes
 Create/Edit Notification Schemes
 Create/Edit Permission schemes

What are you referencing for the differences between a Jira System Admin and a Jira Admin? Can you provide a link?

All users (admins and non-admins) can be granted the permissions that are available in Permissions Schemes and in Global Permissions. Those permissions are listed on these two pages:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver072/managing-global-permissions-828787760.html

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/managing-project-permissions-861253293.html

I have not found a comprehensive single list of the administration tasks that Jira Admins are empowered to access, but here are some of them:

  1. Creation of Projects
  2. Management of Schemes (Permissions, Notifications, Workflows, Screens, Issue Types, Fields, etc.)
  3. Management of custom fields, Status values, Priority values, Issue Types
  4. Management of permissions for users
  5. Management of global settings for the application
  6. Management of Saved Filter ownership
  7. Management of user access to the application
