You can use the Acrobat JavaScirpt "identity" object to obtain the "loginName" if none of the other identity properties are not filled in or a custom one is created. This object is only available through batch, console, or application initialization, so one will need to create a folder level script to capture this data and make it available for later processing. You could make the restricted fields read only and then use a document level script to check for an athorized loginName and then unlock the fields.
