For permissions-- administrators are still restricted by security settings.
(In fact, an administrator can even lock himself out of a resource-- there
are even a few scenarios where this is desirable.)
However, an administrator can always simply go in, take ownership and then
reset the permissions to anything else thereby giving himself access. So
yes he can bypass security but it may take some manual work to reset the
permissions.
