Each wiki is different. Some wikis have certain requirements a user must meet until having a chance to become an admin, some wikis have admins chosen by their communities, and some admins are directly chose by the bureaucrats' decisions itself (and many more ways!) Also, you may adopt a wiki which allows you to have admin and bureaucrat rights.

On CC, Wikia Staff choose admins.
