Hello Alkis, do note that it is typical for users to own their own home
directory; if a user wishes to share, they can run:

chmod 755 ~
or
chmod 751 ~

(The choice is based on whether they want to allow listing their home
directory or not.)

Of course, they'd be wise to inspect the permissions on their other
files and directories to make sure they're only sharing what they intend
to share.

Of course, if the local administrator has decided that users cannot own
their own home directories, then that's another question entirely, one
you'll need to take up with the local administrator.

Thanks
