Hiding the Database list from a certain user\group

Is there a way to limit what user will see in Enterprise Manager? I
would like them to only see there db's and not all them.

I have read and see that I am not able to do this.

I believe that in EM, you will see only the databases you have access to.

In SQL Server Management Studio that comes with SQL 2005, it's a different
story. Here you cannot hide databases.

By default users see all databases in Enterprise Manager. The following KB
shows a method that you can use so users can see only databases that they
have access to (the title of the article is a bit off topic but in fact it
does show a good method):

For SQL Server Management Studio this is much easier, you can just deny a
login the VIEW ANY DATABASE permission and that will do it.

Arguably. The users will only see the databases they *own*. They could
have access to other databases, but they will not show up.

Yes, but my understanding of the original post is that it asked for
configuration where users can see only their own databases, so this applies
here. This is what I meant. :)
