What is special about the admin in chef?

I've read over the chef docs for a while now and I can't seem to find anything that says what an admin does in chef. I can do all sorts of things with making people admins, but there's no indication of what this does for me. Is there a clear answer somewhere?

A Chef admin can create, modify and delete other users and clients. Basically an admin can manage access to Chef.
