Default Protecting cells for different users


I have a excel sheet that will be processed by different users. Is it
possible to protect cells to be used only by one user?

Thanks?

Why not just give that user the password to Unprotect?

You could use VBA to unprotect the worksheet when a specific user opens it.
e.g.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Application.UserName = "John Smith" Then
ActiveSheet.Protect
Else
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
End If
End Sub
