Technically the plan is for her to just be a caretaker until Kim's children grow up and take over. In practice though, once she gets in power, many experts expect her to take full control.

You have to understand, NK is like a medieval kingdom. There's a king, but collectively the "nobles" are the ones that keep that king in power. It all comes down to whether she can "get the nobles in line" behind her, and apparently analysts think she likely has the pull to do that.
