 Hello @marciancarutasu, welcome to Trac and thank you for the ticket.

 WordPress is self hosted, the the admin owns the site wit all it's
 content.
 Admin users can edit any content on a site. Even if WordPress did not
 allow it, they will usually also have access to alter the database content
 as they wish.

 So this is how WordPress, and all self hosted software, work. The owner
 has all access.
