Do you mean for other users but yourself? In this case IMO you can compare giving someone access to the admin backend to giving someone access to something like phpMyAdmin. So basically you want to give this privilege only to those people, you can 100% trust and who should be able to change *anything*.
I'm not familiar with newforms-admin, but I guess the principles are still the same: If you only wan t to manipulate model data, the admin panel is just fine. If you want to do more complex stuff, you will need some custom forms and app logic.
