What do the permission checkboxes of "Faculty Administrator" and "Media Guide Administrator" do in the profile editor and what is the difference between the two?

Administrator Tools

Since an administrator can do anything in the system anywhere, these options apply to the publisher profile only. These options DO NOT apply to the "Writer" profile. Here are the rules:

• Checking the “Faculty Administrator” permission for apublisher effectively grants that person access to manage ALL faculty information site-wide.
• There is also a “Media Guide Administrator” permission that if checked, will allow that person to apply media guide tags to any profile site-wide. Some times, the faculty and media guide admin are the same person. Some times, they are not. So, checking the right boxes, someone could do one or both.
• When either of the two permission are granted, that person can perform the operations on everyone, site-wide. They are NOT limited to any specific department. (It's an all or none thing)
• Writers have no access to modify profiles, period. You must at least have "Publisher" status.
