I have my db set up, so that users can add only one record and so that new signups go directly to the add form. So it works well to have the $dbkey=$userid, but I would like for admin to have unlimited add capablility. Is this possible?

Yes. You will need to add something unique as the userid for the field, though. And you'll need to make the following change to sub add_record in db.cgi:
Change
($auth_user_field >= 0) and ($in{$db_cols[$auth_user_field]} = $db_userid);
to
unless ($per_admin) {
($auth_user_field >= 0) and ($in{$db_cols[$auth_user_field]} = $db_userid);
}

Change
Code:
# Set the userid to the logged in user. ($auth_user_field >= 0) and ($in{$db_cols[$auth_user_field]} = $db_userid);
to
Code:
# Set the userid to the logged in user. unless ($per_admin) {
($auth_user_field >= 0) and ($in{$db_cols[$auth_user_field]} = $db_userid);
}

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean that I'll need to edit the $db_key field every time I add a record as admin? (Currently, this field is invisible, but I can always change that.)

Yes. You will need to make the field visible, at least to admins. (Make it an admin-only field.) You have to put something in the field.
