Even though the DB says that the admin level for admin is 9, the different user interfaces report things differently.
If you instance a user object with Admin directly, then it says the uiLevel is 9.
If you do it through the default session user, it says the uiLevel is 5.
This can be exposed through t/Session.t (which will fail) and t/User.t (which passes).
Through the UI, if you turn on Admin, in the New Content section the SQL Report will not show up, because it's uiLevel is 9.
