    1. Click Edit in the Actions column for the admin role.
    2. In the Inheritance tab, select the checkbox next to the phantom role. This will cause all users with the admin role to also inherit all privileges from the phantom role. If this admin user will be using adaptive response relay, you must also inherit the ess_user role.
