Can a BAQ be set up to let the author and another user use it only?
As long as you mark it as Shared.
If you arent the Author though, you will not be able to save changes. The Author can be passed back and forth between people.
From Help:
Shared
Indicates whether this query is available to all users within the current company. After you select this check box and save this query, all users within your company will be able to add this query to their personal dashboard. If they have the rights and if the BAQ is updatable, they could also place it on smart client dashboards and mobile device dashboards.
If you do not select this check box, you are the only user who can use this business activity query.
Or are you wanting to limit the BAQ to only 2 people?

I believe you can accomplish that using the security button on there. You will need a security group that only has you two in it.
Yes, as @Craig mentions, it must also be shared.

It’s not. When I saw Mark’s post I went and checked because I have a few places it would be useful. But I’m on 10.1.500 as well and it’s not there.
That’s my 10.1.600 screen so it appeared somewhere in between… Sorry!

Hi Gary
You could copy your BAQ and then change the author of the copy to be your second user. (make both BAQ Not shared),
go to >ACTIONS >Copy and also >ACTIONS >Change Author
if you really need to do this in your current version, you could make a BPM that checks the user that is executing the BAQ and interrupt it if not you or the other person.
This could even be extended to prevent people from even viewing the BAQ.
Just hang the baq on a dashboard put that dashboard in a menu and secure the menu
