The admin directory isn't secured by the admin array, but users.php can't 
be accessed if you're not logged in as an admin.

I think the css editor doesn't check for admin rights, but that's because 
it hasn't been maintained for a while. But it works only if the webserver 
has write rights on the html.php files anyway.

Atif, do you want to check for admin rights in the css editor?
