> Does anyone have a particularly polished way of offering access to user files to non-root users for the purposes of job troubleshooting or the like? </p>
<p dir="ltr">acl[0] would do the job nicely, just make sure the filesystem in question is mounted with the acl option then, a user experiencing problems can give the scientist account temporary permissions.<br>
```shell<br>
setfacl -R -m u:scientist:rwx ~/project_data<br>
```<br>
After the problem is fixed the user can revoke the permissions to keep the home directory secure.<br>
```shell<br>
setfacl -x u:scientist: ~/project_data<br>
```</p>
