This seems to work, but I can't verify the meaning of "501" despite much time trying to Google this.

This, or variations on this theme, seems to work. For example, I found this, while Googling, ...
on amIAdmin() set prevDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " " set groups to do shell script "id -G -n" set groupList to text items of groups set isAdmin to "admin" is in groupList set AppleScript's text item delimiters to prevDelims return isAdmin end amIAdmin
I am still a little surprised that SE or Finder don't contain a simple command to do this.
