Unfortunately this is not possible. The Users service does not distinguish between different roles.

Per the python docs (I can't find this in the java documentaion):

An administrator is a user who can access the Administration Console for the application.

The api call checks for the presence of 'X-AppEngine-Inbound-User-Is-Admin' in the headers.

The UserService has an isUserAdmin() method which gives this information.
