You can delegate target machines to 'owners' who can only see their
own machines with their login to the web interface, but there is not
an easy way to do it at the home directory or file owner level for a
multi-user machine.   You can make a 'host' which is a subset of a
target, and point several of those at the same real host with the
ClientNameAlias option but it would take some additional work to
secure those against each other.  It probably could be done, though.
