As an admin (now an instructor), I'm pretty sure that anyone who is
extending schema darn well ought to be capable of editing ACIs to match.
Being able to set permissions for data access is a core administrator
skill, IMO, essentially regardless of what you are administering. I
consider schema extension/modification to be a more advanced skill, and
it's one that we encourage students in 423 to use sparingly if at all.
