If the prefix ID function is used, selected threads can be viewed by clicking the link in the visitors tab called Featured threads.

The reason for the Admin permission and the Prefix ID in the options page is to create a thread prefix called Featured, that way you can add the Featured thread prefix to any thread you want to be selected randomly and show in the Featured threads widget. You will be able to view which threads have the Featured thread prefix by clicking the Featured threads link in the visitors drop down menu.
