What does administrative access mean?

It allows write when write is granted and the "relax" control is present. In practice, those who have "manage" access can perform those normally "prohibited" operations described in draft-zeilenga-ldap-relax.

I wish this explanation would catch all cases.

I vaguely remember that before the birth of draft-zeilenga-ldap-relax some (overlays?) misused the Manage DSA IT control for that purpose.
