or like this
case " `id -G` " in
*" 544 "*|*" 0 "*)    echo admin;;
esac
Note the embedding spaces in the case expression.
I'm adding the 0 for a profile portable with Linux.
You could also use
     if id -G | grep -qE '\<(544|0)\>'
at the cost of an additional process creation.
In earlier Windows versions, you could also check for group 547 which 
was some kind of half-admin user.
