Ask HN: What do you call your sys admin group?

2 pointskngspook5 comments

I'm trying to name a group of accounts with privileged access to corporate systems, but I'm trying to avoid calling it "admins@", mostly because I dislike the abbreviation but the long form is too long. Anyone come up with some cooler/nicer way to label it?

I would name it "System Administrators Group"

Has it become a bad word?

No, I just wanted something more succinct without being an abbreviation. Also, it's not the descriptive name that I'm thinking about, but more something like the unix group name/mailing alias.

Oh, I see. We have groups named "ops@" or "infra@" sometimes.

Yeah, that's not a bad suggestion, I kind of like "operators@", it's a bit shorter than "administrators@". I was also thinking about "staff@", but that's too general purpose.
