CouchDB Authorization Logic?

I read http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/security.html and

and previous question Database-based authorization of CouchDB as well as http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Security_Features_Overview

I am currently using Apache CouchDB 1.2.0 and through futon add admin result to add user in _users, for example

_id
org.couchdb.user:stackoverflow
 _rev 
1-b9f223532b662d4ac52d14082d81e6a5

name
stackoverflow

password
null

roles
[ ]

type
user

So, the first question is why the administrator is being added as a type user, not an admin. These are admin users, as they can do anything in any database, and the role is empty, but I protected the _users document with

["admin"]

as the only members, and only admins can access this (even if their role in the _users document is empty).
