The code is rather explicit about this.
If you're creating a ticket and try to add an AdminCc it either wants
your user to have ModifyTicket or for you to be adding yourself and
for you to have WatchAsAdminCc.

If you care to look in the code, see Ticket_Overlay.pm's Create
method, the loop at 534 and then the contents of the AddWatcher
method.
