In my opinion having a "lower ranked" person spy on "higher ranked" person is a bad idea.
If you don't trust your staff than you shouldn't hire them.

However I could see a good point in making a "watcher" access level.
A watcher is a person that can only [goto other staff locations, is always hidden and see all the staff online (even hidden) including every command they do or what they say.
He won't have the ability to modify anything or tweak any game-related stuff (spawns, items, etc...).
The small difference between what I suggest and the original idea is that with the original idea everybody can be a "ghost", with my idea the admin specify which players have a "watcher" access level and they'll always be watchers.

P.S.
Anyone who is lower than admin shouldn't be able to see/know who the watchers are or if they're online or not (they won't add "online users" count).

That's just my point of view on the subject
