    Hello

    I want to add a user which has access to a specific folder only. But how to do that?

    Deny sudo privileges (if applicable) and chown the user to the folder.

    Thank you! But how to deny read, write and execute access to all other folders?

    The new user created shouldn't have access to anything but their directory.

    For instance, in Ubuntu if you create a new user "Sam", they will have a directory called "Sam" in which they can edit accordingly. If you chown the permissions per file, then they would be able to now access that specified file.
