The following commands will create user X4 and (by default) group X4 and directory X4, and will limit access to directory X4 to user X4 exclusively.

sudo adduser X4

sudo mkdir X4

sudo chown X4:X4 X4

sudo chmod 0750 X4

Note that nothing will prevent X4 from rummaging around elsewhere on the file system. There is no way to prevent that. However, no one except X4 and root will be able to access directory X4.
