In a customer project there are some users with super-user rights. If I log in as a super user, I can do anything. But, another user who also has super-user rights is immediately logged out of every menu action and redirectd to the frontend homepage. It must be related to the Admin Tools, because if I deactivate Admin Tools with renaming the main.php, the user can immediately use everything in the backend as usual. What am I doing wrong?

Oh, please wait, it seems the problem is solved. Just, I don't know why all at once. I saved the user several times, activated and deactivated it. Suddenly he can use menu items in the backend again. I'm a bit helpless.

I believe your problem happened with Admin Tools 5.2.0. There was a bug regarding the Super User Monitoring feature. This was fixed in 5.2.1. If a Super User gets blocked just edit them twice from the site's administrator area: once to remove their Super User access, a second time to give them Super User access again. This lets Admin Tools know that this Super User is legit and should be allowed to use the site. I suspect this is what you (accidentally) did, therefore unblocking the user.
