In the "users and groups" utility you can control who is in the admin 
group  by selecting their name, clicking properties, clicking user 
privileges, and adding or removing a check from the box labeled 
administer the system.

In the file /etc/sudoers, you should see the following, which gives 
being in the admin group its significance:

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
