Chellini's answer might work, but if you have 1000 users you are going to add 1000 rules to the router. That and the database access might add to your application's response time.

An alternative is to add a generic route which by default maps to the user action (this is defined first as routes are matched in reverse order). Then add the routes to the controllers you actually have - you are likely to have far fewer controllers than users.

If your application is modular, that reduces the number of rules you have to write even further as you just need to add one rule for a module.
