That’s your call.
One non-admin or admin login per user, or potentially (for isolation of admin access) one non-admin and one admin login per user, is typical.
Shared logins are bad for change tracking, and bad for accountability.
If you have more than one trusted user administering your system, then an admin login for each would be typical.
Having a second “spare” admin user also provides access, should the primary admin login be password-forgotten, or corrupted, or whatever.

For safety I always keep a second admin account.
