správce

Správce is a Czech noun referring to a person who is responsible for managing, administering, or taking care of something. The word derives from the verb spravovat, to manage, and is used in a broad range of contexts. The feminine form is správkyně.

In property and public administration, správce describes roles such as domovní správce, who oversees the upkeep and operation of a building, including maintenance and tenant affairs; and správce majetku, who handles the management and disposition of assets, often including leasing and financial administration. In insolvency law, insolvenční správce (insolvency administrator) is appointed by a court to manage a debtor’s assets during proceedings.

In the field of information technology, the term is common in phrases like správce systému (system administrator), správce sítě (network administrator), and správce databáze (database administrator). These specialists install, configure, monitor, and maintain systems, control access and security, perform backups, and respond to incidents.

The concept of správce also appears in organizational and administrative contexts beyond technology and property, where the individual acts as a steward or custodian of resources, processes, or information. While often translated as “administrator” or “manager,” the exact duties of a správce depend on the organizational setting and legal framework. Related terms include administrátor and the feminine form správkyně.
