A quick definition of administrative act:

An administrative act is something that someone does, especially when they are in charge of managing something. It can be something they do outside of their usual job, like a judge supervising court workers. If they do something wrong, they might be in trouble. It's different from a legal act, which is when the law itself creates, changes, or gets rid of a right without anyone's permission.

A more thorough explanation:

An administrative act is a deed or action performed by an individual, especially voluntarily. It is a process of doing or performing something that results from a person's will being exerted on the external world. An administrative act is often made in a management capacity, especially outside the actor's usual field. It can be subject to a greater risk of liability than an act within the actor's usual field.

For example, a judge supervising court personnel is making an administrative act. Another example is when a government official makes a decision that affects citizens, such as granting a permit or license.

Administrative acts can be contrasted with judicial acts, which involve the exercise of judicial power, and legislative acts, which prescribe what the law shall be in future cases arising under it.
