system administrator
system administrator Someone who administers a small network, often one which contains a large central computer and many DUMB TERMINALS. Many of the functions of the system administrator are similar to those of a NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR, but since the network being administered is small, specific functions such as performance monitoring and altering the configuration of a network are carried out less frequently, with tasks such as updating software and registering new users predominating.
