Yes.

That way with MySQL tricks I might be able to see if the master user is master for that particular login user. That way I can give domain owners or owners of multiple domains the ability to manage the email accounts within their scope of permission.


These are available in v2.0:

%{login_user}
%{login_username}
%{login_domain}

I guess they should be added to wiki..
