Admin rights == Administrators group.
Anyone in the Power Users group can make themselves an
Administrator if they really want to, all it takes is
them getting an Administrator account to log onto the
machine.

You are better off specifying which privs you want the
account to have to do what you want, rather than looking
for a catchall that will either be too little or too much.
