Exemptions list

I have a VBA that I found that closes my form if it's idle for five minutes, and it works great. Too great. I'm trying to make an exemption so that I can set certain user names to not get kicked off after five minutes, I am using the security feature created by the "User-Level Security Wizard", is there any way to determine the logged in users name? This is the VBA code I'm using for this :
Code:
Private Sub Form_Timer()
On Error Resume Next
    '  IDLEMINUTES determines how much idle time to wait for before running the IdleTimeDetected subroutine
    Const IDLEMINUTES = 5
    Static PrevControlName As String
    Static PrevFormName As String
    Static ExpiredTime
    Dim ActiveFormName As String
    Dim ActiveControlName As String
    Dim ExpiredMinutes
    
    '  Get the active form and control name.
    ActiveFormName = Screen.ActiveForm.Name
    If Err Then
        ActiveFormName = "No Active Form"
        Err = 0
    End If
    
    ActiveControlName = Screen.ActiveControl.Name
    If Err Then
        ActiveControlName = "No Active Control"
        Err = 0
    End If
    
    '  Record the current active names and reset ExpiredTime if:
    '  1.  They have not been recorded yet (code is running for the first time).
    '  2.  The previous names are different than the current ones (the user has done something different during the timer interval).
    If (PrevControlName = "") Or (PrevFormName = "") Or (ActiveFormName <> PrevFormName) Or (ActiveControlName <> PrevControlName) Then
        PrevControlName = ActiveControlName
        PrevFormName = ActiveFormName
        ExpiredTime = 0
    Else
        ' ... otherwise the user was idle during the time interval, so increment the total expired time.
        ExpiredTime = ExpiredTime + Me.TimerInterval
    End If
           
    '  Does the total expired time exceed the IDLEMINUTES?
    ExpiredMinutes = (ExpiredTime / 1000) / 60
    If ExpiredMinutes >= IDLEMINUTES Then

     '.... if so, then reset the expired time to zero ...
        ExpiredTime = 0
        '.... and quit the application
        Application.Quit acQuitSaveAll
    End If
End Sub

RE:Exemptions list

You can use the currentuser function;

dim username as string

username = currentuser

Then use the Username variable to work out your exceptions
