Hi Sandrine,

Yes it is possible. You can try using global variables in the page.
To get the profile name of current user use below:

Profile Id: {!$Profile.Id}
Profiel Name: {!$Profile.Name}

To get user details:

{!$User.Name} - Name
{!$User.CompanyName} - Company Name & etc

Hope it helps.

Thanks

Brahma
