Admins

Admins can take any action on behalf of the original account that appointed them including adding or removing admins. Creating additional admins enables key rotation for Operators, or creating a backup admin which is stored on a cold key. The drawing below shows how admin addresses can be rotated while retaining appointee access permissions.

There must always be at least one admin for the account. If no admins have ever been set, the initial account address acts as the admin. There is no superadmin role.

Admins cannot be given access to a subset of functions or contracts. Admins always have full access unless removed as an admin. Specific function or contract access cannot be removed for a given admin.
