This is intended behaviour.

An admin should NOT be able to alter anything they are not meant to, without dropping at least a log message.
(force join a faction -> admin command -> searchable)

They are meant to be in-game moderators and not "unlimited powers" account.
This way, you can add an admin without needing to worry about any single block in the world being modified, users complaining about that, and you have a 15 people admin team and no clue who may have abused your trust.
Anything especially Homebase related stuff changed by admins results in rumors about exploits and possible cheats, which will under the line not only harm the server-owners reputation but for starmade.
This way, the owner has to get the logs, and search for all admin commands, when there is a force join to faction xxxx its most likely the admin that joined there did the modification, otherwise the owner can clearly self-investigate:
This was no action done by the admin team -> should be an exploit/bug and report it to us

Back when it worked we had a few cases where we had to chase an "exploit" on a single server that was used over and over again, resulting wasted hours, because one of the admins wanted to make fun of one player. With cutting this option to "edit uneditable stuff with log entry only" this never happened again.
