'Admin' is a shortened form of the word 'Administrator' (administrator). Such abbreviations are common in German in colloquial and technical language.
Der Admin hat mein Passwort zurückgesetzt.

The word 'Admin' is used mainly in colloquial language and in information technology (IT) contexts. In very formal written texts, you would more likely use the full form 'Administrator' (administrator).
Schreib mal dem Admin, dass die Webseite nicht lädt.
Write to the admin and tell them that the website isn't loading.
'Admin' is often used as the first part of compound nouns to describe technical responsibilities or permissions. Common examples are 'Admin-Rechte' (admin rights), 'Admin-Zugang' (admin access), or 'Admin-Passwort' (admin password).
Für diese Installation benötigst du Admin-Rechte.

operator
'der Betreiber' and 'der Admin' can both be important for a website or online platform, but they have different roles. The operator is the person or company that runs the service or offering and is responsible for it. The admin mainly takes care of technical management, for example settings, users, or problems in the system. The words can be confused because on small websites the same person can be both. When it is about responsibility for the whole service or offering, 'Betreiber' fits; when it is about technology and management, 'Admin' fits.
Der Admin hat mein Passwort zurückgesetzt.
The admin reset my password.
Der Betreiber der Webseite muss ein Impressum angeben.
The operator of the website must provide legal notice information.
