Managing Admin Roles
Under the hood of Flexible (opens in a new tab), there's an access control module (opens in a new tab) within the Theme Registry (opens in a new tab) contract that determines the administrative rights and access levels for each theme under a given platformIndex. By design, the person who creates a platformIndex is given admin rights to update themes automatically. Moreover, extra methods are provided for easy management of multiple administrators in a deployment.

Remember that writing functions to a smart contract often involves modifying its state, which may have irreversible consequences. Ensure you understand the function you're interacting with and the potential implications of the transaction before you proceed. Feel free to test this on testnet first.
