Do your admins have Admin rights other than AdminUsers?  If so, then
they can run Perl code on the server, which means they have the ability
to impersonate users anyway.  You have to trust someone at some point.
If you can't trust your admins, maybe they shouldn't be admins...

To more directly answer your question, no, not out of the box.  It could
certainly be written as an extension.
