I think you have a misconception on how your OS works. Most likely your two user accounts have different uids and different main groups. Your data folder most likly is owned by user1:group1 with rxw------ permissions, so user2:group2 cannot read nor write to that directory.

You might want to check these and post the result:
# groups user1
# groups user2
# ls -ld data_directory
