http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zeltsan-oauth-use-cases-02#section-3.8

In order to achieve the use case above, how would the client (a.k.a the 
resource owner in this case) specify which user to authorize?

Would the correct approach be to make a request to the Authorization 
Server with the grant type set to "client_credentials" and set the scope 
to user=user_id (where user_id would be the identifier for the user Bob)?
