Put the current user into the template context, and pull the user out of the context supplied to your template tag. A common way of putting the current user into the template context is to use a RequestContext to render the template with, and ensure that 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth' is in settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS (it is by default). Template tags are passed the context by default when render() is called on the Node returned by the template tag. If you are avoiding most of the messiness by using the @simple_tag decorator, you can pass @simple_tag(takes_context=True) to be passed the context. See [1].
