wizard mode

( n.)

   [from  {rogue}] A special access mode of a program or system, usually
   passworded, that permits some users godlike privileges. Generally not
   used  for operating systems themselves (root mode or wheel mode would
   be  used instead). This term is often used with respect to games that
   have editable state.
