We took a slightly different approach in the past with this problem.
We had a stateful Seam application and so had two managed beans. One
representing your identity and the other a user.
For regular users these would effectively be the same. For administrators,
they had the necessary permission to search and choose the user object.
In all our Seam EL we then referenced #{currentuser.name} etc and it all
worked rather nicely.
