Loop not correctly iterating over tuple for function

I've been working on a lab for my scripting class, where I need the loop to go through each system in a list of systems and call a function to check if the users in a system have admin access. The way my code is running results in the "for system in systems" part calling a function with the entire systems tuple instead of just one system.

A sample of the code to show what I mean:

systems = [
        [('System1',
          {'users': [('alice', 'admin'), ('bob', 'user')]}),
         ('System2',
          {'users': [('charlie', 'guest'), ('dave', 'admin')]}) ]

admin_status = []

for system in systems:
        admin.append(audit_permissions(system))


def audit_permissions(system: tuple) -> dict:

    system_name = system[0]
    system_info = system[1]

This results in system_name = ('System1', {'users': [('alice', 'admin'), ('bob', 'user')]}) and system_info = ('System2', {'users': [('charlie', 'guest'), ('dave', 'admin')]}) rather than system_name = 'System1' and system_info = {'users': [('alice', 'admin'), ('bob', 'user')]}, and I can't return the result correctly.

It's very possible that this is a simple mistake, but I couldn't find an answer online, and it's been a while since I've used python last. Is the "for system in systems" incorrect, or am I doing it wrong? Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance!
