What are the differences between API Admin and Business Admin roles?

In a tenant scenario, a user who is a Business Admin for the tenant has full permission to all objects within the tenant business, including all apps and APIs.

The Business Admin has the same rights as the API Admin, plus additional rights and responsibilities.
