Yes. By two means

a) The redirector interface, available since Squid-1.X sometime.. This
gets called on each and every request.

b) The external acl interface of Squid-2.5 and later. These gets called
only to verify that a preset condition is true. i.e. the user is member of
certain group in your user directory, or pretty much any other condition
you can think up.

the external acl interface is easier and more efficient.
