There is no administration privileges from a Mac OS X point of view. Each privileged task has its own rules defined in /etc/authorization

See "Performing Privileged Operations With Authorization Services" for details about Mac OS X authorization policy.

What's the official way to detect a user has administration privileges (from a Mac OS X point of view)?

OpenDirectory (how?) or does the fact that the user belongs to group admin is enough (with the exception of root)?
