Bureaucrat rights need to be handled separately. It's almost never a good idea to give someone bureaucrat rights at the same time as admin rights.

An intermediate step to becoming an admin is Content Manager, Discussions Manager and Rollback rights. Sometimes the first two or all three are given together, which lets someone do most of the things an admin can, except for blocking users.
