Assign posts to specific logged in users?

Question

I am looking to see if it's possible to assign posts to specific logged in users? For example: Example: John Smith (member) logins into my site, and he can only see posts that have been assigned to him.

I have seen the Members plugin called Members but not sure it that plugin can handle my requirements.

Thanks

Here's one way to do it, not the most dynamic as you'd need a category for each user but it might suit you if you only have a small number of users.

You could create categories one for each user then use a custom loop to only show categories for that user.

So something like

if($user == 'John Smith'){
    $taxTerm = 'John Smith CatTerm'
}

Then create a custom loop using WP_Query (https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query) and use $taxTerm in your tax_query
