What it does
The word your admin accounts use, e.g. Admin or adm. It fills {AdminWord} in the admin account patterns (and any other pattern that uses it), so one naming template serves every tenant.
When set
When set: new admin names use the word (adm-abc-id instead of admin-abc-id). PIM Manager also derives the admin-account recognition prefixes from it, and checks admin rows against it.
When blank or default
When blank: Admin. A blank value is saved as Admin.
Risk and how to reverse it
Existing accounts keep their names. Accounts named with the old word are still recognised through the admin account prefixes, but their rows can start showing naming warnings, and a high-privilege account with no Purpose may no longer route to the high-privilege AD OU. Reversible: restore the old word.
Requires
SuperAdmin in PIM Manager. Free (Community). Used only where a pattern contains {AdminWord} (the shipped admin patterns do).
Recommended
Set it once, before the first admin is created, to the word your organisation already uses.
