Yes, just don't give the option to show all users:

See 'ps --help' and 'man ps'

As above: ps x shows only the processes for the user that gives the
command (root in this case), but ps ax shows all. AFAIK there is no
privacy which user runs which command.

For this case you should be carefull to give passwords in commandline on
multiuser systems.
