Roman Catholic Answer: That depends on the sacrament:
Baptism: normally a priest or deacon, but in an emergency may be anyone, even a non-baptised person may baptise if he intends to do what the Church does.
Confirmation: normally a Bishop, but may be a priest under certain circumstances.
Eucharist: must be a priest or a Bishop, although a Deacon, acolyte, or extraordinary minister may assist with distributing Holy Communion.
Penance (Confession): must be a priest or Bishop
Holy Orders: must be a Bishop
Matrimony: The two people getting married: must be a man and a woman
Anointing of the Sick: must be a priest or a Bishop; personally, I do not know if a deacon can do this.

∙ 13y agoThere are seven sacraments. Each are different.
Baptism: A priest or higher order, deacon, or a lay person in extreme emergencies.
Confession (Reconciliation): A priest or higher order.
Communion: A priest or higher order.
Confirmation: For adolescents, it is usually the bishop or higher order. However, adults entering the Church on Easter Vigil are Baptized and Confirmed in the same evening. Because the bishop can't be at every such mass in the diocese, permission is given to priests to do this in this case.
Marriage: This can only be administered by two lay people to one another. A deacon, priest or higher order must witness it though.
Holy Orders: It greatly depends. A Bishop is usually the administering member of the Church, but it very much depends upon each Diocese and country.
Annointment (Last Rites): A priest or higher order as a confession is normally involved.
