No, it is not available. We lack the machinery to make the environment cars
available, that would be simple enough to add though,  but I'm wondering if
the wfs protocol allows to use expressions to start with in insert and
update... I have no suitable access to the schemas right now (writing from
my phone) but I have serious doubts.

Maybe you could try the connection life cycle scripts here:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/database/sqlsession.html
They can get the current geoserver user and run some SQL with it, maybe put
it in a variable and then use it from a trigger?

Cheers
