You'll need two separate layouts. You could, of course, script the buttons so that they behave differently for the two classes of user.

Or use the visibility technique. Create an unstored calculation field of Case( Get(AccountName) = "Admin"; serial ). Create a relationship from this calculation to the serial field. Put a one row portal on your layout using this relationship, and place your Admin-only button within it. Use one portal for each button or put them all inside one, depending on your layout setup.
