administrative functions
Office management tasks
Administrative functions are the routine tasks that keep an organization running—scheduling, record-keeping, correspondence, filing, budgeting, and coordinating between departments.
The phrase typically describes support work distinct from an organization's core mission: She handles all the administrative functions so the doctors can focus on patients.
In computing, administrative functions are operations requiring elevated system privileges.
