I'm not going to make a full lore post on this but it is worth noting somewhere. This is pretty much let me find the word.... Break down? Of the Rin 'State' leadership as a whole. This is mainly for me but for some it might peak your interest or be useful.

For Adeptae:

Imperator Augusti:

The Emperor and head of the entire emperor worshiped as a living god who's very word is law.

Ceaser Augusti:

The Heir to the empire

High Adepta Lords (High Lords):

The High lords leaders of the Adepta and the main power block of the Empire. They report to the Emperor, and the Emperor alone.

Adepta Lords:

Under High lords Adepta lords are in charge of a specific officio for example within the Administratum their is a Adepta lord for the Officio Logistica and so fourth.

Magistrates/Questor:

Head of a Ordo

For the Senatus:

Imperator Augusti:

The Emperor and head of the entire emperor worshiped as a living god who's very word is law.

Ceaser Augusti:

The Heir to the empire

High Senator:

Part of the ruling body of the senate made out of the most wealthy and powerful senators.

Senator:

The basic senator normally one of wealth.

Tribune:

A Tribune is 'technically' lower then a Senator but can defy the senate and even defy the emperor (At times) they work for the people's interest (Not to be confused with military Tribunes which are executive officers)

Note: The Senate holds little real political power mainly a type of open forum from which the Emperor can listen to his people's grievances if the Emperor decides to listen that is up to him.

For Militum:

Imperator Augusti:

The Emperor and head of the entire emperor worshiped as a living god who's very word is law.

Ceaser Augusti:

The Heir to the empire

Lord Commander:

Head of the Entire Militum and the Fleet (He is helped with the fleet by the Lord Commander Admiral)

Grand Marshal:

Assigned to Segmentum Ultra and oversees military affairs for the Lord Commander.

High Marshal:

Assigned to a Segmentum Majorus and oversees military affairs.

Imperial Marshal:

Assigned to a Segmentum and oversees military affairs.

Note: Each Marshal is assisted by a legate.

Legatus:

Imperator Augusti:

The Emperor and head of the entire emperor worshiped as a living god who's very word is law.

Ceaser Augusti:

The Heir to the empire

Thronus Legate:

A personal legate of the Emperor's court can be compared to what Chi-fu was in Mulan (Advisor guy) they are allowed to wear the three headed eagle upon their uniform.

Grand Legate:

A legate assigned to Grand Marshal

High Legate:

A legate assigned to a High Marshal

Imperial Legate:

A Legate assigned to a Marshal

Militum Legate:

A Legate assigned to either the Custudo, Legions, or Fleet.

Note: Every type of admiral also has a Legate plus every ship (Save minor ones) has a legate aboard.

Think of a Legate as a advisor while similar in role to a Intercessor a Intercessor is the Emperor's direct eyes and ears spotting disloyalty a Legate is an advisor but also a commanding officer (Similar to a Commissar but in a more formal bureaucratic sense)
