Should $RT::SystemUser be able to do arbitrary things?

I have some scripts which do things to RT and have used $RT::SystemUser
as the default user when instantiating new Groups/Queues etc. in code.
However, since I started to redo my rights schema, this user no longer
has permissions to do very much and I wonder what has happened? It’s not
the “root” RT user is it? Where are it’s rights assigned? I now have to
load a “real” user in scripts to get permissions to do anything …

Ceck in DB that RT::SystemUser has right SuperUser on system.
Record in ACL tables should look like:
| id | PrincipalType | PrincipalId | RightName | ObjectType
| ObjectId | DelegatedBy | DelegatedFrom |
| 1 | Group | 2 | SuperUser | RT::System
