      When our institute does an install, we have a team of testers to look at all the updates and make sure we are good to go live. Unfortunately that requires us to either whitelist IP addresses or temporarily give them access to the moodle/site:config capability.

      I propose we add a capability called maintenanceaccess so that users can be selected to be allowed through maintenance mode.
