As Dominick stated.  I prefer to think in terms of two different roles.
 Login Roles, and Roles to execute in when you have privileges (IE Root).

Login Roles/Types
staff_t, user_t, unconfined_t, xguest_t, guest_t

Three interfaces can be used to create confined login users.

userdom_restricted_user_template(guest)
userdom_restricted_xwindows_user_template(xguest)
userdom_unpriv_user_template(staff)


Admin Roles/Types
logadm_t, webadm_t, secadm_t, auditadm_t

The following interface can be used to create an Admin ROle
userdom_base_user_template(logadm)


sysadm_t is sort of a hybrid, most people use it as an Admin Role.


I imagine that you login as a confined user and then use sudo/newrole to
switch roles to one of the admin roles.

Of course you are free to design your own system creating fully login
admin roles. Or creating addinitional non admin user roles.
