administrators
Those who manage
Administrators are people who manage or oversee operations—of a business, school, government agency, or other organization.
The term often distinguishes managers from front-line workers: Teachers complained that administrators didn't understand classroom realities.
In computing, an administrator (or admin) has elevated privileges to configure systems and manage user accounts.
A court-appointed administrator handles the estate of someone who died without a will.
