I've not fully tested all the changes as we use the beta only on a testing environnement until we're satisfied and upgrad our main rig with it.
However I have to say that to be now able to edit domains settings/users as as a system administrator, without the need to impersonate as the domain administrator seems like an improvement to me.
Shaun, It seems to me you still can impersonate as a domain user if you open the user settings from a system administrator point of view and then select the ... menu and select impersonate.
However I also agree that these changes are surprising to happen right now, when the product can't be considered stable and still has some bug fixes pending.
Kind regards
