something that reports the username and type of account like below
/Users/fred - mobile, standard
/Users/wilma - network admin

Try this command. It should display what you want.
/usr/bin/dscl . -read /Users/username |
egrep 'NFSHomeDirectory|RecordType' | tr '\n' ':' | cut -d':' -f2,5
/Users/username:Users

1How can the account type be determined from the output of
id?– nohillside ♦Commented Nov 12, 2014 at 12:36 -
I updated my answer, I think I misunderstood the question with my previous answer.– jherranCommented Nov 12, 2014 at 13:29
Start with:
users
then:
id -Gn XXusernameXX | grep 'admin'
If you have an output, then 'XXusernameXX' is an admin account

You need to place each group on its own line. Maybe something like this-
id -Gn XXusernameXX | tr ' ' '\n' | grep -e '^admin'– fd0Commented Aug 23, 2023 at 14:54
There's a simple command/utility called dsmemberutil that will check the group membership of a user. Below is an example of command usage and the output of a user is a member of the group in question (admin)
dsmemberutil checkmembership -U username -G admin
user is a member of the group. <------------------ Output result
It will also return an exit value of 0 if successful or a 1 if not meaning you can use it within if/then or [[ ]] evaluations in Bash/Zsh.
