Just how many people with admin-access to this service are there?
Dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? Maybe I was thinking of the wrong thing
when you said "admin", as we usually don't see people with admin
rights to be the ones causing extra support load, but YMMV, of course.

Well, it seems "all modern browsers have a private browsing mode
functionality - IE8 (inPrivate), Safari (Porn mode), Firefox 3.1
(Private mode), Google Chrome (Incognito mode)."
(Ramdom quote from a quick search,http://dev.opera.com/forums/topic/274091) 

So chances are it's available in whatever is your "supported browser".

But we don't even have such a list or support matrix and we also don't
train users to use a specific [singular] webbrowser. Just my 2¢.

If you use more than a single account on a website - for instance, you
have two Gmail accounts, you can open a second account without logging
out of your first account by opening the site in a private tab. (This
is handy for computer technicians working on someone else's computer)."
