AUTHENTICATED_USER.allowed won't do what you want, I think. A now 
deprecated method that is now replaced by has_role was nothing more than an 
alias to the allowed() method, so you cannot get any (or much) more 
information from allowed() than you can get from has_role().

Explain to us what you want to do.
