Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how sysadmin permissions govern edits and dataset creation, then identify the project-wide object operations a blocked user must be unable to perform. Done means the blocking and unblocking behavior is defined and covered across the stated object actions.
