You can restrict the admin UI by limiting access using the authorization 
plugin. I would though not give access to end users for the admin UI.  A good 
practice is to create your own web application running on a dedicated server 
that manages all the authentication / authorization and provides a UI for the 
end users. Then you can manage access in a dedicated enterprise directory and 
also implement single sign-on etc.


You cannot manage users in the admin UI and you will see it gets very 
cumbersome with many different users.

Also from a usability point of view the admin UI does not make sense for end 
users.
