We are in need of a module(s) or process that will allow content authors to choose who sees their content. Specifically, the author should be able to make his content either “Public” or make it viewable and/or editable by specific users (not by user roles). The Content Access module together with the ACL module comes close if only we could prevent the author from seeing the Role Based Access Control settings and just see the User Access Control Lists section available. Are we missing something?

Write a small custom module and implement hook_form_alter() to hide the parts that you don't want to have.

If you are just after user access control to probably will suggest to use #2 configuration or some alternative access modules.

I personally use Flexi Access module because its allow authors to control user base access.
