It is possible to be wrong related to the understanding of "restricted file". What do you think about...do you have other opinion about it?

If it's in a user's home directory, the user pretty much has permissions to do anything they want with it.
IIRC about the only thing a user can't do to finles and directories in a directory the user owns is delete a directory owned by another user that has the setgid-bit set on it.
What problem are you trying to solve?
