Admin Mode
Allows full access to Employee Central OData API entities and operations. You will only use this in a limited number of cases chiefly technical integrations. Admin Mode overrides any RBP (role based permission) settings that have been made.The term technical user or non-RBP usually is the same as Admin Mode.
