How to obtain info about the user?

Hi there,
I'm connecting to postgres from java using the postgres driver...
and I need to get the info about the user that is connected to the DB, lets say
for example: name, groups, permisions (select, update, execute)...

Does anyone knows how can I get that info?

Also, if the user is in the group "admin", I need to geat a list of users and
the permissions of each... just like pgadmin3 does...

I suggest you turn on query logging to see how pgadmin3 does it.
