Example-1: The example below demonstrates administrator configuration.

This configuration manages administrator accounts and access permissions for organizational management. The example includes role assignments, network access levels, and administrative privileges for centralized user management.

Under the organization named by the environment variable !env org, the organization is marked as unmanaged (managed: false). It has one admin whose name and email are set via environment variables !env org_admin and !env org_admin_email, respectively. This admin has full organization access. Optional commented sections show the ability to assign tags or network-specific access if needed.
