What's the best way to tell if user is logged in as ADMIN?

thanks to both of you,

ok so one more thing, how do i get this variable into my script? i checked out the cookie created but i see no variable set that indicates usergroup or even userid..

i do see sid <-- w/c seems to be a session id? is it? and is this the only way to get the usergroup data by via sid instead of uid?
