User can't access notebook on Jupyterhub

Hello, I’m trying to share a public health dashboard built in a jupyter notebook using jupyterhub server. The server was set up on an aws EC2 instance using the instrcutions for The Littlest JupyterHub instructions. I was able to login as admin and set a mock user to test for user accessibility but while I can see and work with the notebooks, the mock user can’t.
My directory tree is
http://<instance_PublicIP>/user/<admin_user_name>/tree
But the mock user sees:
http://<instance_PublicIP>/user/<mock_user_name>/tree

I tried to configure the users’ server in jupyterhub_config.py Using:
c.Spawner.notebook_dir = '~/dashboard_project_directory'
But the result is the same. Below is the log.
How can I enable my users access to the notebook? What am I missing.

Here is the log for: jupyterhub /etc/jupyter/jupyterhub_config.py
