Note that since June 2017, you can apply an Admin access right to a sub-team (instead of one giant unique team as before)

See "Nested teams add depth to your team structure":

Child teams inherit their parent's access permissions, so repository permissions and @mentioning among nested teams work from top to bottom.
If your team structure is Employees > Engineering > Application Engineering > Identity, granting Engineering write access to a repository means Application Engineering and Identity also get that access.

So that is another way to assign a user admin right: make him/her part of a sub-sub team called "admins" within an organization.
