What's the reason for not letting me add the role "Administrators

What's the reason for not letting me add the role "Administrators" programatically to a user?

Simple question really, I create users programatically and it goes fine. I can add users, EPiServerProfile properties and all roles except "Administrators". When adding it I get this error ->

Provider Exception Caught
The role 'Administrators' was not found.

I get it after having checked if the role exists and after that adding it with ->

 Roles.AddUserToRole(userName, role);

I don't need to add the users to this group, I'm just curios.

Could it be that Administrators is a virtual role?

From what I read here -> http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-CMS/7/Security/Virtual-Roles/ you're right. Thanks
