Auto-enable admin mode on privileged environments

What does this MR do?

Auto-enable admin mode on privileged environments.

On some circumstances (e.g. rake tasks), we want to auto-enable admin mode to avoid breaking existing code, such as db migrations or administrative rake tasks. In those cases, admin mode does not offer anyway any extra layer of protection, since the commands are executed from a terminal, from where an administrator has basically access to everything.
