How do I create a "System Administrator's Keyboard"

My magic keyboard connects to Me in the Bluetooth settings (I am the system administrator) and the magic mouse connects to the "System Administrator's Mouse". There is not a "System Administrator's Keyboard" to connect the Magic keyboard to. How do I create one in my 2020 Mac Mini M1 so that my Touch ID will work. My iMac has both a "Me Keyboard" and a "System Administrator's Keyboard" and a ""System Administrator's Mouse" which my keyboard and mouse connect to.

Mac mini, macOS 13.1

When you are connected, you can edit the name of some Bluetooth devices. It may have gotten that name because someone logged in with the full user name, "System Administrator" originally configured the device.

You an rename your keyboard to "System Administrator's Keyboard," but that won't change how it works.

As with Luis Sequeira1, I think you are trying to solve some problem, and you think the solution is to create something irrelevant to the problem.
