Admin tasks can be done either by the desktop or from the command line. For example, to add a new user you can either click on the User_Setup icon or run the useradd command.

Also, remote administration is supported via SNMP (simple network management protocol), telnet, network software installation or running graphical admin tools across the network using X.

Note that admin roles can be assigned to users. For example, a company accountant can be granted the rights to install packages without becoming root or knowing the root password.
