Scrum Master is a "management" position?

I saw this question somwhere and the answer was true while I thought it should have been false. Could someone tell me if this would be correct? Here's their explanation:

Scrum Master does not manage the Scrum Team or even the Development Team, but manages the Scrum process.

This is because scrum master has responsibility to resolve the impediments of the team. Some of this needs management intervention. Although scrum master is not a "manager" , scrum master do have to influence the management to get issues resolved.

Very straight forward issue can be adding new team member.
