Can a Database entry be targeted to a particular user?

If field Enable Target users in section Entries of the Database Settings is set to Yes, a new field type, Target user, becomes available.
The Target user field is a menu of all users with a particular role (as chosen in the field's settings).

If Enable Target users is set, the Database has a little extra magic, as follows:

• Besides the user who created an entry, only the user selected in a Target user field, and users with the secondary role of Can manage target users, can view the entry.
• Approving an entry does not enable any other users to view it. (It simply marks it as Approved.)
• The search form at the top of the List entries tab is a little different:
  • For users with capability of Can manage target users, it includes a menu for each of the Target user fields. The options are the currently 'targeted' users.
  • It includes an Approved field
  • It incoroporates various aesthetic improvements
• The templates are a little different:
  • The default List template and Single template include the name and official picture of the user who created the entry.
  • The Advanced search template form cannot include any Target user fields or an Approved field
  • By default, entries that have not been approved are shown on a pink background. (This is just a bugfix.)i
