You cannot tell who accesses a file. Run "stat filename" will give you just about all the information that is available for a file.

eg:

stat typescript
typescript:
        inode 149959; dev 284; links 1; size 404
        regular; mode is rw-r--r--; uid 35621 (nlong); gid 20 (user)
        projid 0        st_fstype: xfs
        change time - Fri Mar 30 23:36:57 2001 
        access time - Fri Mar 30 23:37:03 2001 
        modify time - Fri Mar 30 23:36:57 2001
