Subject: [global] config editable by top group admin 

The ETH physics department is running an ELOG behind an authenticated reverse proxy. For the PSI-Praktikum we had to create a logbook that is accessible without an ETH-Account. For this a new logbook was added, which is not authenticated via the proxy, but the ELOG internal authentication. In order to grant access to the students, I was made admin for that logbook. After following the instructions under https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#groups I was still able to edit the [gobal] configuration although I was only supposed to be admin of our own top group. Is there a way to prevent this? Or is it not possible to have a global section that is not accessible by the top group admins?
