You can go further, and create a locked-down account without even many of
the capabilities of a regular user account. For example, you can put their
home directory in its own filesystem namespace, so they cannot see other
users’ files. You can make various files/directories in that home
directory read-only and owned by root, which prevents them from even
changing their own user preferences for certain things. You can limit
their access to the network on a per-user basis, etc etc.
