System Administrator

A system administrator, or sysadmin, is a person employed to maintain, and operate a computer system or network. System administrators may be members of an information technology department.

 

The duties of a system administrator are wide-ranging, and vary widely from one organization to another. System administrators are usually charged with installing, supporting, and maintaining servers or other computer systems, and planning for and responding to service outages and other problems. Other duties may include scripting or light programming, project management for systems-related projects, supervising or training computer operators, and being the equivalent of a handyman for computer problems beyond the knowledge of technical support staff. A System Administrator is a blend of technical skills and responsibility.

 

A system administrator's responsibilities might include:

  • Routine audits of systems and software.

  • Performing backups.

  • Applying operating system updates and configuration changes.

  • Installing and configuring new hardware and software.

  • Adding, removing, or updating user account information, resetting passwords, etc.

  • Answering technical queries.

  • Responsibility for security.

  • Responsibility for documenting the configuration of the system.

  • Troubleshooting any reported problems.

  • System performance tuning.

  • Keeping the network up and running.
