Prism is designed to deploy to workstations rather than users. However, there are a couple possibilities you could try.

1) New Boundary has developed a COM DLL to allow the Prism client to query the security group membership of the currently-logged in user. The results of the query can be used to populate a User-Defined Configuration Group within Prism Deploy. You can then assign Prism Deploy Tasks to that group. Whenever a user who is a member of a specific group logs into a machine, that machine will get the task that is targeted at members of the group. Full details are here: http://www.nbtnet.newboundary.com/supportkb/article.aspx?id=10040&cNode=7M8R4G

2) User-defined configuration groups can be created to sort on things like Username and UserADName. For example, you may want to deploy a certain application to all members of the Accounting OU, no matter where they are logged in. You could create a user-defined group that looks something like this:
UserADName MATCHES "MyCompany.local/Accounting/*". Then assign tasks to that specific group.

I just wanted to add it is also possible to do this by...

create a new configuration group, choose predefined and instead of using one of the listed items in the dropdown, type in "username" without the quotes. This group will then populate by usernames.

Just be aware that using this technique will result in a subgroup for each individual user. If you want to assign a task to a number of users, it will have to be assigned to each individual subgroup.
