Actually the only reason I want to know is that tech support wants to know when a user calls in.

I just want to place some text in the UI, so that indicates whether the user has admin rights or not.

Don't try to head the user off at the pass. If you need the user to authenticate as an administrator, don't disable that functionality simply because the user is not an administrator. The authorization interface allows authenticating as any administrator, not just the currently logged-in user.
