====== Defining Home Folder For Users ======

A **Home Folder** is the landing folder in which a user will see and gained access to when he/she is logged in.

Different users can be assigned with a different home folder.\\ 
This can be determined by their organizational/functional roles.

For example, there are 5 users with different roles in their organization:
  * **Anne** is a project manager that oversees all projects' development.
  * **Carl** is a project executive who is managing Project A.
  * **Lily** is a project executive who is managing Project B.
  * **John** is the CEO of the company.
  * **Sarah** is the HR manager of the company.
 
Following the above scenarios, the suggested home folder for each of these users are:

^User^Home Folder^Description^
|Anne|/Projects|As Anne is the project manager, she should have the privilege to access all files and folders in the Projects/ folder, including Project A (which is managed by Carl) and Project B (which is managed by Lily).\\ However, she is not given access to the Human Resource or other department's folders.|
|Carl|/Projects/Project A|As Carl only manages Project A, he does not have access to Project B or other folders.|
|Lily|/Projects/Project B|As Lily only manages Project B, she does not have access to Project A or other folders.|
|John|/|John should have access to all folders as he is the CEO of the company.|
|Sarah|/Human Resource|As a HR manager, Sarah has access to the Human Resource folder, but not other folders that are not within her scope of work (such as the Projects folder).|

Note: / refers to the root directory.

A graphical representation of the folder access by users is as per below.
