When you first set up Sharepoint, you will notice that it has the threat detection model of a particularly twitchy cockatoo, or possibly the NSA. It simply doesn't handle threats appropriately. People are locked in or out, permissions and abilities are set up strangely, and you may need to grant people List Management instead of Contribute to make sure that you can use lists to track data at all.
Sharepoint! It is working on it, okay, it is not its fault.
So! You have set up a list and some automagical workflows, and those workflows do automagical document approval, or possibly pass information to people's cellphones. But you are personally not logged in! Even though sometimes you just do it all yourself because it's simpler than trying to create an adequate permission system within the system.
You could maybe foist that one off on whomever manages your Active Directory, but knowing your "organization," a loosely-defined term if ever we've heard one, that's you.
The account that by default is assigned to permit and handle all automated flows within your organization is known as System Account, and it is absolutely essential that you don't kick it off your subsites or all of your automated approval workflows will break, because they do not inherit the AD permissions of the person to whom the approval task was assigned.
I am certain this is for good reasons, well, reasonably sure, and therefore, don't remove System Account.
What's that, you say? This superuser account which is specifically named by default to every library, group, list and site in the build may be a security issue?
Excellent.
Take careful note of it, least you ever need sell insurance paperwork from the mid-2000s to the Russians, and leave it on your structures. Taking it out causes headpain.
