ADC similarly to NMDC has two type of users, normal and operator. As I said, hubsoftware may implement their own userlevels but in the protocol level those appear either normal users or operators. DC clients user interfaces render this accordingly, operators defined by the protocol have "keys" in their icons in DC++ or other derivative clients.
This restriction does not prevent hubsoftware to implement various user levels and permission systems on their own. You've probably seen this in other hubsoftware, hence your questions.
ADCH++ does not implement such system, here there's commands that anyone can issue and there's a set of functions where the userlevel determines what a user with a certain level allowed to do with other users any level below them and cannot do with users any level above them.
Therefore what you want to achieve in your initial question (allow a certain level of user to use the reg command but not the kick etc..) is not currently possible with ADCH++. 
It is possible to add such a permission system using the LUA api but I think that is a largely different approach than what's currently implemented and thus would need a larger rewrite of the scripts currently shipped with ADCH++.
