What's the difference between ADMINISTER and SYSTEM_ADMIN permissions?

What's the difference between ADMINISTER and SYSTEM_ADMIN permissions?

From com.atlassian.jira.security.Permissions:

/**

* Permission to administer JIRA

*/

public static final int ADMINISTER = 0;

/**

* Permission to be a System Admin of JIRA

*/

public static final int SYSTEM_ADMIN = 44;

Half of classes in JIRA sources use one permission, the other half uses the other permission. What's the story? Which one should I use in a plugin?

Thanks! I guess one should read the user guide of a product before starting developing plugins for it ;)

Also, can we have a nice formatter for the source code on this site, like they have on stackoverflow? Thanks!
