OpenDirectory (how?) or does the fact that the user belongs to group
admin is enough (with the exception of root)?
if you do just want to check whether a user is a member of the local
admin group (though as others have pointed out, this may not be what
you want)
$ dseditgroup -o checkmember -m adminuser -n . admin ; echo $?
yes adminuser is a member of admin
0
$ dseditgroup -o checkmember -m notadmin -n . admin ; echo $?
no notadmin is NOT a member of admin
