In this case, in the comment section, the user will have an "Author" label when he/she leaves a comment.

To change the label you should use the hook code below:

add_filter("wpdiscuz_author_title", function ($label, $comment) {
    global $post;
    if ($comment->user_id == $post->post_author) {
        $label = __("***Administrator***", "wpdiscuz");
    }
    return $label;
}, 10, 2);

Put the code in the active theme functions.php file. This article should be helpful for you: https://themaverickspirit.com/add-code-snippets-functions-php-wordpress/
