Hi,
If its is to restrict that user to view some data,then no need to place him in a separate group.Can achieve this...
High priority is for restriction.
Lets take group-Test with two users-test1,test2.These two users are under Test group.
I applied data level security for only one user test1(restricted him to view market not equal to Central Region) but didn't apply data level security for test2.
Now i added the group to presentation catalog and gave permission to dashboard showing Market report.
When test1 logs in he can see all markets except Central Region,where as test2 logs in he can view all regions including Central Region.
Here Test group is having full access so,test2 can view all regions but test1 user is restricted for some value and its working fine.
If you want apply data level security to user to not view some data,then you can maintain that user in a group with many other users and achieve it.Above example shows it.
If its is to restrict the whole group to view dashboard and make a single user in the group to view some data in the dashboard then its not possible(priority is for restriction) in this way,in this case its better to create that a new group to that user and assign him.
