Is the User an Admin?

  • Subject: Is the User an Admin?

I know that by using System Events I can get the (current) user's name.  Is there any way to find out the user's privileges?
 
I'd like to be friendly and do something like:
 
if current user is an admin then
do shell script "whatever"
else
do shell script "whatever" with administrator privileges
end if
 
Thanks,
Chuck
