does system admin security role confer privilege to all field level security?

I created a field and a field security profile for it.  I clearly did not add my user to the profile's members and yet I can access the field.  My guess is that it is because I am an admin.

That behavior is NOT in the documentation.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Partner,

    The System Administrator field security profile gives full access to all secured fields in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises). By default, all users who have the System Administrator security role have this profile. This profile is system managed and can’t be updated or deleted.

    Reference article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/developer/security-dev/use-field-security-control-access-field-values#which-security-roles-allow-you-to-see-secured-fields

    Another bad idea but, thank you for citing that.
