Most importantly you need to add appropriate permission for user abc to the
/home/abc directory (and its contents if necessary).

You can use either chown+chmod or setfacl commands, depending on the use-case.

When this is one, add SUDO rule allowing user usr to run a program in
question. You do not need to bother with SUDO rules for "cd" because this will
be solved at filesystem level.
