What is the common man's notion of an administrator?
Someone in a high position exercising control
In popular usage, the term 'administrator' evokes the image of a person holding a high official post and wielding authority and control over other people in an organisation.
The common man does not associate administration primarily with technical skills, technical knowledge, or routine operational activities; these belong more to specialists and operatives.
The classic writers such as Millett and Simon note that the ordinary citizen equates administration with command, direction and control exercised from a superior position.
Hence, the correct option is Someone in a high position exercising control.
