Saying "To make administration easier, do not give administration
privileges to all users." is the correct way in terms of grammar and
it is easy to understand.

A reader would then ask "what security reasons?". Do you really need
or want to explain them? The original sentence was sufficient once
grammatically corrected.

Bug description:
In page 124 we have: 

"...Do not give administration privileges to all users to make administration
easier."

I think that there's something wrong with that, it should be: 

"To make administration easier, do not give administration privileges to all users."

What do you think?
