You should likely iterate[1] over Privs first, skipping any priv that
you don't care about.  Then, iterate over the user array for each
username found holding the desired privilege.  That avoids even
looking at users that don't hold the desired privilege.

HTH.

[1] Because multidimensional arrays are simply concatenated keys
stuffed in a single array element, you will need to iterate...unless
there is a saner way that I'm not aware of.
