This output comes from the following code, starting at line 619:

# Make sure the user is running in an administrative context
admin=$(/usr/bin/id -G | /usr/bin/grep -Eq '\<544\>' && echo yes || echo no)
if [ "${admin}" != "yes" ]
then
  echo
  csih_warning "Running this script typically requires administrator privileges!"
  csih_warning "However, it seems your account does not have these privileges."
  csih_warning "Here's the list of groups in your user token:"
  echo
  for i in $(/usr/bin/id -G)
  do
    /usr/bin/awk -F: "/[^:]*:[^:]*:$i:/{ print \"    \" \$1; }" /etc/group
  done

If you were really running in an elevated shell, I don't know why 544 didn't show up in the output of "id -G".
