When you clone a repository a new admin password is created, it's showed in 
stdout. This is the output of a clone from fossil:

camibar% fossil clone http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil myclone.fossil

admin-user: gowen (password is "d30ccf")

As you see, there's a new admin user with a new password. This way you are the 
admin of your clone. If you open the repository and list the users you get:

camibar% fossil user list
anonymous    Anon
developer    Dev
gowen        
nobody       Nobody
reader       Reader

As you see the user data is not populated from the original repository using 
clone (in timeline view you see users drh, jan.nijtmans, stephan and others). 
Perhaps what you want is a simply raw copy of the repository file, it will keep 
all users and other sensitive information and after that you can use sync, or 
pull&push.

For now there's not a globlal admin user or global users that maintains in all 
clones. Perhaps in a svn like closed environment it has sense this kind of 
global users, the global admin will be the same for every clone and only 
him/her/its can admin and dominate all clones, like a sauron's ring ;)
