- The mountpoint is not a sticky directory which isn't owned by the
user (like /tmp usually is)

- No other user (including root) can access the contents of the mounted
filesystem (though this can be relaxed)
- No other user (including root) can access the contents of the
mounted filesystem (though this can be relaxed by allowing the use
of the `allow_other` and `allow_root` mount options in `fuse.conf`)

When using the `allow_other` option, be aware of
[bug #15](https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/issues/15): the
permission to access a cached directory entry is only checked for the
first user that accesses it. As long as the directory entry is cached,
accesses by other users are made with the permissions of the first
user. The only work around for this bug is to disable caching of
directory entries, or to not use `allow_other`.
