Trying to append a field if an insert happens to contain a duplicate

I deliberately intend to add some duplicates to one of my tables. For eg

Job User IsAdmin

JobID 235 User ID 1
JobID 235 User ID 5
JobID 235 User ID 9
JobID 235 User ID 5
JobID 235 User ID 2
JobID 235 User ID 9
JobID 235 User ID 10
JobID 235 User ID 1

I know its bad practice to do such a thing but there is a genuine reason. What I need to do is to be able to have a SQL statement that appends true to the IsAdmin field whenever it encounters the next UserID thats happens to be a duplicate. Hence the above would look like:

Job User IsAdmin

JobID 235 User ID 1
JobID 235 User ID 5
JobID 235 User ID 9
JobID 235 User ID 5 True
JobID 235 User ID 2
JobID 235 User ID 9 True
JobID 235 User ID 10
JobID 235 User ID 1 True

Thanks
