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:

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.

Note that all users will see their respective home folder as “Home”.
