It is possible to create as many relationships to the User type as you want, each with is own name (and meaning).  
Unfortunately, a basic user relationship doesn’t have the same functionality as the Assignment extension (e.g. notification, permissions etc).

> For what it’s worth, I realised after writing, that one can link Users either with the Assignment extension or just by using a normal entity Relationship. If limiting to max one user is desirable, the latter method (defining as many-to-one or one-to-one) is useful. The Assignment extension seems to be fixed as ‘many-to-many’. I think there’s still lots of value in being able to set constraints on relationships (min/max count or based on filters).

> Hi guys, I was interested in creating the equivalent functionality of “watcher” that is offered by a lot of PM apps around their tasks and entities. This is a user who is “subscribed” to an entity’s activity - so they are informed when any status changes, fields are adjusted, comments are made, and so forth. Can I use the “assignment” extension to create this functionality? Or would I need to do this another way if that extension needs to be reserved for only actual assignees? Thanks guys!

Also, there’s an extended disussion about users and their functionality here

> There is this special app to manage people, but this is currently inherently linked to having a Fibery account. This means that I can’t reference people effectively without rebuilding a completely parallel type for People that links to the official People type, which then creates confusing duplicate information. I should be able to add as many people as I want without having to invite them with some permission level to use the service at this time. We are building this out with a small team (4)…
