Hi Padrajan,

You can restrict the events that a Timeline shows in a number of different ways:
1) Change the source of the data to be a program instead of a file. Then have 
the
program only include the events that the user is authorized to see. This would 
be the
most secure method.
2) Download all of the data to the Timeline, but use additional Javascript to 
show
only the authorized data.

In either case, your users will need to sign in to your Timeline application so 
you
can tell who is who and what data they are authorized to view.

Regards,

Larry
