Admin/non-admin status usually corresponds to privilege on Mac OS X, but it isn't identical. Users may be assigned privileges that would otherwise be strictly administrative. The status may not tell you as much as you may hope.
I assume you want to know whether the user is able to do something, not simply whether he has admin status. We can't help you with what you really want to do unless you tell us what that is. It may be as simple as attempting an operation and seeing whether it fails, or it might involve delving into directory services or authorization services. (See "Authorization Services Programming Guide" for an overview of the model.)
