How to provide full access only to specified directory (/home/new_user/) which contains php-executable files which user can execute?

The user can't change directory : 

ls -la /home

results in the error message "You haven't permissions"

  • The bit at the end of your question "User can't see any other directories." is that a statement or another question. If another question, then it should be in another question. If a statement, then it needs elaborating (what does it mean?). Please edit question to resolve. – ctrl-alt-delor Feb 02 '20 at 12:06

    What have you tried? What did not work? You are correct that `chmod 777` will do it (However it is over kill, that gives permission to all users). Think about who the person is logged in as (what `user`?). Then configure it the same as if they were logged in via other means e.g. via console, or X11. It is exactly the same. – ctrl-alt-delor Feb 02 '20 at 12:04

Check out ACLs (Access Control Lists), they allow finer grained access control than the rough owner-group-others Unix model. Not all filessytems handle them, though.

You can use setfacl command for a specific folder and user.

for user;

sudo setfacl -Rm d:u:new_user:rwx /home

for group;

sudo setfacl -Rm d:g:new_user:rwx /home

for check permissions;

getfacl /home
