Probably not really a specific gluster issue, but yes, you can do that with extended acls. You will declare spefic execute only permission for that user in all directories above documentation and in documentation itself it should be read/execute if you only want him to read or rwx if you want him to write. The only thing pertaining glusterfs is that the filesystem backend must support and be mounted with extended ACLs.
