This Post - http://world.episerver.com/forum/developer-forum/-EPiServer-75-CMS/Thread-Container/2014/2/Programmatically-setting-access-rights-for-assets-folder/ working for groups, not for individual user, any idea why its not working for users?

Are you really really sure you want to do that? Setting access rights on user level quickly becomes an administrative nightmare. :)

If you do want to do it anyway...

var _securityRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentSecurityRepository>();
var startPageSecurity = _securityRepository.Get(ContentReference.StartPage).CreateWritableClone() as IContentSecurityDescriptor;
if (startPageSecurity != null)
{
     if (startPageSecurity.IsInherited) 
            startPageSecurity.ToLocal();
     startPageSecurity.AddEntry(new AccessControlEntry("daniel.ovaska", AccessLevel.Read, SecurityEntityType.User));
     _securityRepository.Save(startPageSecurity.ContentLink, startPageSecurity, SecuritySaveType.Replace);
}
