user_home_dir_t is the context for the home directories of the users.  The
home directory itself does not belong to the user - it's a system directory
to store the files that do belong to the user. The contents of that
directory, including any subdirectories, are user_home_t.  This allows types
to have one level of access to the home directories themselves and a
different level of access to the users' own files.

 

The settings governing home directories are in the file
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs

Great perls of wisdom - thanks.

Where can I find the documentation that describes just what you said above ?

Many thanks.
