How to check if author is an administrator in discord.py rewrite

I want to check if the author is an admin before he/she uses the command in the rewrite branch of discord.py

I tried:

@client.command()   #Command to delete messages in bulk.
    async def clear(ctx, amount=100):
        if ctx.message.author.server_permissions.administrator:
            await ctx.channel.purge(limit = amount+1)
            await ctx.send(str(amount) + ' messages deleted.')
        else:
            await ctx.send('No can do mister!')

But this returned an error, I'm guessing because it doesn't work for the rewrite branch. Any ideas?

Instead of using:

ctx.message.author.server_permissions.administrator

You want to use:

ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.administrator
