There's a good discussion of how to do this in https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/issues/2162
I think @akesandgren<https://github.com/akesandgren> probably has the best tips since he is using the relevant "subdir-user-modules" option in the wild.

I have a user who likes to use the system EasyBuild to build packages in their private space using the modules we provided. If in user mode, I load the EB module and initiate an install using the system eb config and adding --installpath=$HOME/eb_test to the build statement. The build will not use the toolchains (e.g. foss/2016b) already systemwide installed, but will rebuild it in $HOME/eb_test. Obviously if I don’t add an installpath, it will fail since I don’t allow users to write the centrailised location. Is using the systemwide module and extending this privately supported in EB?
