How to get currently logged user in AppPanelProvider?

In AppPanelProvider::panel() I have $user = Auth::user();, but the result is NULL i.e. it seems that the currently logged user is not available in this method. Is there a way to have access to it in this method?

In AppPanelProvider::panel() you are defining the middleware to be run, including authentication and sessions. Hence at that point the user cannot be known yet.

I'm defining there the UserMenu, which depends on the currently logged user. Is there a way to setup the UserMenu on another place?

I haven't started using filament v3 yet so. Does AppPanelProvider extends Filament\PanelProvider ?

Is there another way to have a UserMenu with elements based on the currently logged User? For the reference, I did it with closure on hidden(): 
        $userMenuItems[] = MenuItem::make()
            ->label(__('pages/org.title'))
            ->url(function() {
                return Org::getUrl();
            })
            ->hidden(function() {
                return !Auth::user()->hasDirectPermission('manage org');
            })
            ->icon('heroicon-m-building-office');
        $userMenuItems[] = MenuItem::make()
            ->label(__('pages/org.title'))
            ->url(function() {
                return Org::getUrl();
            })
            ->hidden(function() {
                return !Auth::user()->hasDirectPermission('manage org');
            })
            ->icon('heroicon-m-building-office');

is it possible to do this in middleware ? and I think You can access the Gate facade in service provider
