What is the sql way to restrict "superadmin " priv to one user?

Is there some way to restrict in mysql that certan field has only ONE ROW
with CERTAIN VALUE X while other rows can have any values but not this
one(so "unique" is not the answer..)?

This can be of course done in application level, but it would just be nice
to know. I would build my application so that only one user can be
superadmin, while others are normal admins or something else.

Of course this restriction would not be enough anyway, because I still need
to figure out what happens in different cases. So actual benefit would be
close to zero, but nerd idealist inside of me requires to know - "we have a
right to know".

From what I have read in the docs, MySQL does not appear to have
support for user-defined constraints, as some RDBMS implementations do.
I recommend you go ahead and implement the constraint in your
application logic.

I ask all php-freaks say how they feel this CMS approach especially from the point of view of 1) admin usability, 2) user rights management and) database speed. In my approach webcontent could be seen as a content-tree, where most of the content would be in one table called "nodes". Content types would be: - branchwebpages and simple categories(=menuitems that have only subitems, not content) are the branches - leafwebpages (those that...

However, I need to add more roles and restricted areas to the app. For example, one account will have an admin and several regular logins. The Admin can designate what each login will see within the application. Now, there can be a Super Admin for that same account, which...
