(Ubuntu Server 14.04.2)

Lets say I have two user accounts with the usernames alex and bob - where alex has superuser privilages.

Within alex's home directory, he has lots of directories which bob cannot access. alex wants to give bob permissions to just one directory within his home area where bob can upload, read, edit and delete files in there, but the rest of his home area bob should not have access. Let's say the folder is /home/alex/bob_folder_access.

How can alex grant these exact permissions?

Add alex and bob to some group, and execute 

chgrp -R somegroup /home/alex/bob_folder_access
chmod -R g+rwX /home/alex/bob_folder_access
