Filter on username

Is it possible to filter a list based on username. I want to let my customers
see support calls logged only for them and there usernames will match a
required field in the list making the filter

'customerID' is equal to 'UserName'

but can username be used in a filter and what is the exact entry for it
'username','[username]'?

easiest way is to create a task list and in security settings make it so only
users can see their own taks

But the external user (customer) is not the user creating the item nor are
they the user it is being assigned to
