German term or phrase: EDV Betreuer
In my context, this is a school teacher, who also undertakes IT management (support) duties in the school. He (she) is usually contacted by the other teachers in any matters related to IT. It may be any teacher (biology, chemistry, etc.) who has a little extra IT knowledge and is willing to assume this responsibility against a small addition to the teacher salary.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

"IT supervisor" or "system supervisor" could also work if you want to avoid "administrator".

Alternatively, you could try "user manager" instead of "user administrator"
