Thanks for the responses.
After reviewing the possibilities, I have decided that my script should only run for:
1. A Mac user, that is, a user whose home folder is in the startupDisk:Users: folder.
and
2. The user must have Admin (not Standard) privileges.

I thought it would be easy to get the privileges of the current user, but after searching the System Events, Finder and StandardAdditions dictionaries, I have found no command that returns privileges of the current user.

Perhaps a shell command will do this, but I haven't found it, yet.

Any suggestions ?
