Why can I not select the administrator role when creating an Access Token?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
The reason you cannot select the Administrator role when creating an Access Token is due to NetSuite's security measures. NetSuite does not allow access tokens to be granted the Administrator role. This is to prevent potential security risks associated with granting high-level permissions to tokens. However, there is a workaround. If you are logged in as an Administrator, you can create an access token through the user’s role (New My Access Token). But remember, even though you can do this, it's generally not recommended to use Administrator access tokens. It's better to create a customized role with only the required permissions. Also, note that the ability to create tokens in an admin role from the main dashboard (Manage Access Tokens link on the bottom left) is a feature that was supposed to be deprecated over a year ago. It's still available, but it might be removed in the future.
