Yeah. It's "don't give anyone admin access." :)

In all seriousness though, I'm not interested in adding any complexity to my
environment (I don't imagine anyone else is either). Creating special case
scenarios is confusing to users as well as the other administrators I work
with.

I work for a place with hundreds of users. None of these people need admin
access to do any part of their job. In my mind, no matter how you limit it,
giving admin accounts to users is just asking for trouble.

Maybe others have been in situations where a user requires admin access. I
haven't.
