Noun modify verb?
Hi teachers,
in such phrase, "a user-administered machine", can I say the noun "user" modifies the verb "administer" as an adverb, and together, "user-administered" functions as a adjective.
please kindly advise.

No, if it is hyphenated, it is a single word, and (user-) administered is an adjective modifying machine.
