[Building Sakai] way to tell if current user has admin privileges?

[Nicola Monat-Jacobs]

Ah, I think I should have been more specific. I'm working on a custom sakai tool, and I'm wondering if there is a java method to determine this? Many tools treat users enrolled in the admin workspace as though they were admin, so I imagine there must be some way to test for it.

Thanks,
Nicola
