Not as such, you should read up about file and directory permissions, and 
the group file. It is possible to add users to certain groups, and then 
give only those groups permission to read, write, enter, or execute 
certain files and directories. It is also possible (even usual) to have a 
user belonging to more than one group.

have fun !
