I recommend against that unless you're actively repairing the disk.  User 
A should not have access to User B's data unless there is a reason (e.g. 
open repair ticket), as it creates an unnecessary and unauditable (by User 
B) data access path to User B's data. 

As usual, you have to balance convenience against security.  Granting 
access is a minor effort for the sysprog, not justifying "just in case" 
access rights.
