Nope, Webmin would be your "root" and Usermin would be your "user" level.
Just like Linux itself, it didn't use to have such an in-between level.

There is a new project/module called Virtualmin which is the "siteadmin".

The fair source code maiden was being held ransom by a $200-hoarding dragon.
Seems to have been recently liberated to the land of GPL by some knights...
See http://www.swelltech.com/virtualmin/ for more details. One can only hope

PS. Most people's problem with Webmin is that it is "ugly" and "techy".
    Which of course aren't really technical problems, but still valid.
