System modules are backend modules in the group "System" and they are only available to backend users with admin permissions.
Some modules are only available when you have an optional system extension installed. If you want to see all available modules you can also make a full TYPO3 install, see https://get.typo3.org/misc/composer/helper
Backend modules in group "System"
Permissions
Changed in version 14.0
This module has been moved from System to Administration <https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:feature-107628-1729026000>_.
In TYPO3, you can grant permissions to backend users. At first, a newly created backend user without any administrative privileges has no access to neither the Content > Layout module nor the pages in the backend. The module Administration > Permissions can be used to view or edit these backend user permissions for pages in the backend.

Integrations backend module hub (optional)
New in version 14.0
The new System > Integrations module has been introduced.
The Integrations module provides a central location for managing all types of external system integrations in TYPO3.
It is only visible if at least one of its submodules is visible. Submodules can be provided by optional system extensions (see below) or third party extensions.
Reactions (optional)
This module is only available if the system extension typo3/cms-reactions is installed. This extension handles incoming webhooks to TYPO3. It also provides a corresponding backend module to manage reaction records.
It has its own manual: TYPO3 Reactions.
Webhooks (optional)
This module is only available if the system extension typo3/cms-webhooks is installed. This extension handles outgoing webhooks to TYPO3. It also provides a corresponding backend module to manage webhook records in TYPO3.
It has its own manual: TYPO3 Webhooks.
Scheduler (optional)
This module is only available if the system extension typo3/cms-scheduler is installed.
The Scheduler supports one-time or periodic execution of tasks that can be delivered by any extension. It has its own manual: TYPO3 Scheduler.
Cron jobs in Scheduler
The backend module called TYPO3 Scheduler can be used to perform a task that you defined previously in the scheduler. The scheduler can be triggered by a cron job. In your terminal you can type
crontab -eto create a new job on unix-like operating systems. In Setting up the cron job you can see how this works. Normally you have to define the time or a time interval in which the job should be performed once or frequently. To test your pattern you can insert it here and test if it performs like you expect. When you are not familiar with cron jobs we refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron.
Reports (optional)
Changed in version 14.0
This module has been moved from System to Administration <Feature: #107628 - Improved backend module naming and structure>`_.
This module is only available if the system extension typo3/cms-reports is installed.
The Administration > Reports module contains information and diagnostic data about your TYPO3 installation. It is recommended that you regularly check the "Status Report" as it will inform you about configuration errors, security issues, etc.
This module has its own dedicated manual: TYPO3 Reports. It can be extended by third-party extensions. For example apache-solr-for-typo3/solr offers its own section in the report module.
Log
The TYPO3 CMS backend logs a number of actions performed by backend users: login, cache clearing, database entries (creation, update, deletion), settings changes, file actions and errors. A number of filters are available to help filter this data.
