Admins get created when the server starts based on the OpenMetadata authorizer config. They have special permissions. For example, creating services.

Bots are the service accounts that are used to run the ingestion pipelines. In future, bots will be able to run other automations.

Data ownership is just another metadata attribute for entities to help users know who might be able to answer questions or handle improvements of an Entity. When we add tasks, owners will handle tasks of the entities they own, such as adding a missing description.
