No, SIP "accounts" are about devices. There is nothing in sip.conf (except maybe the callerid= settings) that tie the information to a specific user. In fact the same user can use multiple devices, all listed in sip.conf. Personally I use the MAC-x wherex=the line appearance number. MAC-a for first line appearance, MAC-b for 2nd, etc. -- Consulting and design services for LAN, WAN, voice and data. Based near Birmingham, AL. Now accepting clients worldwide.
