So let's keep it under a new role called "System administrator".

I thought about that as a tiny problem I well but you came up with a
solution. Great. So I'm adding it to the mockup. I felt we were getting
too many categories to fit in a single row so I create to subgroups:
1. Help with your language skills
2. Help with your technical skills
The only weird thing there is "Make a donation" :)
But the rest looks all-right to me. We can try to keep it on a single
screen without vertical scrolling and I think it will still work.
Thanks for taking care of all the ticketing work. I should have done
that myself but I forgot...
