Sysop and administrator are indeed the same. It's referred internally as "sysop", while "administrator" is the display name. It can be renamed from administrator to anything else, but it will continue to be referred to as sysop in the software.

There should be a down arrow after the history tab. Hover over it to see more options. The admin functions should be in there.
