I have to say that I do not really understand the problem.

If the user is known then he/she/it is authenticated at toplevel ROOT (in
the ROOT.acl_users folder) - a pre-requisite for showing content based on
the current user.

If so, then he/she/it is  also authenticated at sublevel B (in the ROOT.B
folder). You do not need to create the user in the ROOT.B.acl_users folder.

Thus the user is known at the root level, and is also known _and_
authenticated at any lower level.

Or have I totally misunderstood what you are trying to do?
