It would allow the user to manage content in his home directory and make it appear as the root of the filesystem. In your sshd configuration, specifying "ForceCommand internal-sftp" inside a Match block for the user would force the use of an in-process sftp server, and prevent him from actually logging into a shell via ssh. For added security, you can also set the user's shell to "/sbin/nologin". I've done this on CentOS and it was a bit of a hassle, because the version of OpenSSH it provides doesn't include all of the required configuration options. However, it looks like Fedora's version is recent enough to make it pretty straightforward.
