The new administrator drop down is supposed to allow us to set something (http://drupal.org/node/1730678)... but what? For now, I'm confused and turned it off.

  $form['og_group_ref']['und'][0]['admin']['#access'] =FALSE;

Note that adjustments to the main field need to be made in a new way:

  $form['og_group_ref']['und'][0]['default']['#type'] = 'checkboxes';

It is literally an option for administrators. Normally, a user can only assign stuff into groups that the user is already a member of. They do not have permission to assign content/users to groups that they are not members.

The "administrator" option allows users (having certain admin permissions) to assign stuff into groups that she isn't necessarily a member of.
