Okay have it figured out

def get_user_permission_level(user_name):
    """
    Function that returns users permissions level as a string
    """
    cur_obj = sgtk.platform.current_engine()
    if ' ' in user_name:
        filters = [['sg_status_list', 'is', 'act'], ['name', 'is', user_name]]
    else:
        filters = [['sg_status_list', 'is', 'act'], ['login', 'is', user_name]]
    fields = ['permission_rule_set']
    project_users = cur_obj.shotgun.find_one("HumanUser", filters, fields)
    if project_users:
        return project_users['permission_rule_set']['name'].lower()
    else:
        return None

That looks great!
Also just to add for anyone else who sees this, you can get the current Shotgun user login by doing the following:

import sgtk
engine = sgtk.platform.current_engine()
print engine.context.user
>> {'name': 'Bob Smith',
    'firstname': 'Bob',
    'lastname': 'Smith', 
    'image': None,
    'id': 88,
    'login': 'bob',
    'type': 'HumanUser',
    'email': 'bob.smith@acompany.com'}
