The Administrator can make system changes, install programs and create sub-accounts for other users with less authority. In many cases the child is the computer Administrator making all decisions on how the system can be used. For obvious safety reasons an adult should always be the system Administrator and the child should use a sub-account. Users with lower-levels of authority will be prohibited from installing software.
