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 ?


I'm not sure but it seems that these instructions may help :

do shell script "whoami"
do shell script "id " & result
--> "uid=501(•••••••) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),402(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1),12(everyone),61(localaccounts),79(_appserverusr),80(admin),81(_appserveradm),98(_lpadmin),33(_appstore),100(_lpoperator),204(_developer),398(com.apple.access_screensharing),399(com.apple.access_ssh)"
set isAdmin to result contains "80(admin)"
