Can anyone give me synonym for "Administration"?

I am using a software that has "Administration" as a keyword, so it doesn't allow any use of this word.

However, My task is to create a folder for each department of some enterprise (and it has an Administration Department).

My question Here is: How can I find a synonym for "Administration" without losing the real meaning of the term?

P.S.: I found synonyms like "administrative" and "directors" which don't fit in my context.

    If the department name is "Administration Department", it doesn't seem intuitive to change that. How about changing the keyword to AD_MIN or something like that? Aug 11, 2014 at 15:24

"each school was administered separately" synonyms: manage, direct, control, operate, regulate, conduct, handle, > run, organize, supervise, superintend, oversee, preside over, govern, rule, lead, head, steer; More be responsible for the implementation or use of (law or resources).
