It also grants users assigned to this role access to more functionality on the Content Editor ribbon, allowing full development features.

This role also has access to the Sitecore menu’s Development Tools menu, which gives the user access to extra development tools such as Package Designer.

Sitecore Local Administrators:

Local Sitecore administrators can access Sitecore and manage the security applications (including security assignments) within that domain. Domains cannot be created or associated with users by a local administrator.

Sitecore Client Users:

All the other Sitecore client roles are members of the Sitecore Client User role, so users in any Sitecore client role are automatically members of the Sitecore Client Users role.
