Winding this up: Password authentication to sshd is all that's needed to be granted the account's admin privileges on login. I was mistaken about UAC: unlike at the console, when you log in by ssh, the account's admin privileges are granted at login, without needing any further authentication to UAC. Thanks very much Eliot and Karl, for your answers about UAC. Although it turns out that they're not needed in this case, they're likely to be useful some other time.
