We need more intelligent administrators.
Possibility 1:
We have enough administrators, but they are not bright enough and need to become more intelligent.
Here, more is used as a comparative particle. So, more intelligent forms one constituent.
Possibility 2:
We do not have enough administrators and need more administrators who are intelligent.
In this case, more is used as a determiner. Thus, it combines with the phrase intelligent administrators.
