have a look at the acl "time" and "ident". From squid.conf:

# acl aclname time [day-abbrevs] [h1:m1-h2:m2]
# day-abbrevs:
# S - Sunday
# M - Monday
# T - Tuesday
# W - Wednesday
# H - Thursday
# F - Friday
# A - Saturday
# h1:m1 must be less than h2:m2
...
# acl aclname ident username ...
# acl aclname ident_regex [-i] pattern ...

Define your time and combine it with the acl for the user:

acl monday time m 08:00-17:00
acl joe ident joe
http_access allow joe monday

Make sure you have an ident daemon running on your client.

Regards,

Peter
