Is there an easy way to tell if the current user is an administrator?

Thanks

well maybe this is an easier to understand example :-)
Dim ident As System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity =
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurre nt()

Dim user As New System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal(ident)

If Not (user.IsInRole(Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRo le.Administrator))
Then

Me.Visible = False

MsgBox("Settings form only availlable for Administrators ! ",
MsgBoxStyle.DefaultButton3)

Me.Close()

End If
