Yes, you can use the cgi.auth_user to obtain the userid from the GAL.
Then when a user clicks to read a document send them to a link such as:
document.cfm?docid={document identifier}
then you can use the cgi.auth_user and the document identifier to indicate
that the user has read the document.the document.cfm file will server the DOC/PDF file up to the user for downloading. This would constitute the user reading the document. Now, whether or not they truly read it is up to them. Within the document, you can put a LINK (A HREF) back to the site such as: document_confirmation.cfm and have it pass the identifier back to that page. Within that page, you can pull the document identifier and the cgi.auth_user to record the transaction that the user has CONFIRMED they have read the document.
