how do I set this up?
Hello Christian,
You can get the user name in the view as suggested in the following forum thread verified answer
“If you need to get the user from within the controller, use the User property of Controller. If you need it from the view, I would populate what you specifically need in the ViewData, or you could just call User as I think it's a property of ViewPage.”

Once you get the user name you can the define the column definition the needs to be hidden for the second user like below:
.ColumnFor(....).Hidden(ViewPage.User === "user2" ? true : false)
What about RowTemplate
it has to match the columns
You can have use the templating engine to create conditional row templates.
