No extra user with admin permissions is required. Common use case is, to create a user called "admin" for it and multiple other users use it.
Fast switch between admin permission and default user permission. You just activate it, re-enter your password (if required), work as administrator.
Automatically timeout of working time with admin permission. This can be configured with sudo_mode_timeout. After a specific time period of doing nothing you are automatically logged out as administrator and proceed doing your work with the regular permissions.
If a user has to have admin permisson, he has not this permission after login. He/she must switch to it (with top menu toggle) to get it. Redmine sudo-mode is used for time period and requesting password to switch to admin permission.

- @jbbarth for the idea of this plugin, but a different workflow. You can find his version here: https://github.com/jbbarth/redmine_sudo
- for api calls admin permissions are temorarily set for sudoer (not to database). This can be some negative side effect for some return values
