The home directory can be organized further with the use of sub-directories.

The content of a user's home directory is protected by [[file-system permissions]], and by default is accessible to all authenticated users and administrators.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Brown |first1=Paul |title=Classic SysAdmin: The Linux Filesystem Explained |url=https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/blog/classic-sysadmin-the-linux-filesystem-explained |website=The Linux Foundation |publisher=The Linux Foundation |access-date=8 December 2023}}</ref> Any other user that has been granted administrator privileges has authority to access any protected location on the [[file system]] including other users' home directories.
