+System modules are backend modules in the group "System" 
+and they are only available to backend users with
+admin permissions.
 
-   This chapters cover modules that will only be available for backend users
-   with admin access privileges.
+Some modules are only available when you have an optional system extension
+installed. If you want to see all available modules you can also make a
+full TYPO3 install, see `https://get.typo3.org/misc/composer/helper`__.
 
-In the :ref:`User Management <t3coreapi:user-management>` chapter we covered the
-*Access* and *Backend Users* module. In this section we take a look

+===========
 
-Log
-===
+In TYPO3, you can grant permissions to backend users. 
+At first, a newly created backend user without any administrative 
+privileges has no access to neither the page module nor the 
+pages in the backend.    
+The module :guilabel:`System > Permissions` can be used to view or edit
+these backend user permissions for pages in the backend.
 
-The TYPO3 CMS backend logs a number of actions performed by backend users:
-login, cache clearing, database entries (creation, update, deletion),
-settings changes, file actions and errors. A number of filters are
-available to help filter this data.

 Check and update global reference index
