The "User" object has methods "getUserName" and "getRolesInContext"
to provide the requested information.


The easiest way to access the user object is "REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER".
Some people say this is deprecated but the alternative is an
API mess:

  In DTML, you can use "_.getSecurityUser()",

  in PythonScripts: 
     from AccessControl import getSecurityManager
     ...
     getSecurityManager().getUser()

  and in ZPT: "user"
