German translation:Root-Konto, Root-Anwender, Root-Benutzer, Root-User
Explanation:
Der Begriff entstammt der Unix-Welt, bei Windows-Systemen spricht man eher von einem Administrator, der allerdings nicht den gleichen Rechteumfang hat wie root unter Unix.

agree  cna07: Der "root user" ist identisch mit dem "superuser". Bezeichnet den speziellen Account, der vom Systemadministrator verwaltet werden kann. Kann also gut als Administrator übersetzt werden. In Informatikkreisen wird oft auch der Begriff "root user" verwendet

neutral  Dirk Wittke: Administrator kann irreführend sein, weil der "root" eine spezielle Form eines Administrators ist. Der "Root"-Administrator kann auch andere Administratoren einrichten, steht also über ihnen
