User access

Is there any way I can restrict a user to 1 directory when logging in but give the access to another directory? For example restrict the user to /home/user at login but also allow then to access /opt/data/user.

chroot the account to the login directory. This means you have to create a /usr/bin directory in the chrooted directory with things like ls, find, rm, etc in it so they can work.

Then in the home directory, create a directory and symlink called /opt/data/user that points to the real /opt/data/user
