Using a "user and group" method of organizing your user accounts -
AuthentiX (http://www.flicks.com) let's you get the current user name
(and you can subsequently pull up their group name, and then cross
reference that for the related permissions for that group.)

I'd imagine that you could granularly cross reference permissions back
to the user (once you have the currect username - the sky is the
limit) but that might be a little more work than the former
suggestion.
