SESSION_USER vs. CURRENT_USER

Hello,

Could someone clues me in the differences between SESSION_USER and
CURRENT_USER please?

Session_user is the user that started the session. Current User is the
user that has
been set via set local session authorization, or via the SECURITY
DEFINER attribute of a function.

CURRENT_USER is what is used for permission checks.

see the manual.
