Hello,

is there a way to control what in a disk given in the disklist should be
backed up, when only access to this disk is given?

I'm thinking of a user controlling what should be backed up by putting
something in his home directory. Clearly it can be undesirable to backup
it all; one might want all configuration files, but not the software
intalled there.

man amanda.conf: look for the include/exclude options inside the dumptype-definitions.

If you specify a DLE pointing at the home-dir of the user, you could specify a include-file inside that DLE which could in turn be writable by that user.
