htaccess conditional based on user

I was wondering if it's possible to program a htaccess conditional based on users?

My directory is password protected, but based on the user login, I'd like the Options +Indexes to turn turn if it's an admin user, or be Options -Indexes if it's a regular user. There are a bunch of directories within this directory, and the regular users need to be able to access those, but I don't want them seeing the directory listing if they go to the main directory.

Does this make sense? :P

I'd appreciate all and any help.

as far as i know Options is not allowed in htacces so you can't use it to change Indexes.
Is not clear from what you said if password protection of directories is done using a apache mode, basic, digest or you use another way, script based for example.
Also is not clear if you have or not access to the server configuration.

Anyway take a look to the mod_authz_owner maybe is what you want.
