Allowing unprivileged users to install unit files in the search path of the main systemd instance is quite dangerous since there is only one namespace and users hence could do stuff with it, that they shouldn't. What you can do already is run a per-user instance of systemd, where the user can add his services. This is not complete yet, but it should already get you quite far. To make use of this use "systemd-loginctl enable-linger lennart" (for a user lennart). This will make sure that a systemd instance is automatically started at boot for this user. ~/.config/systemd/user/ is where you can then place unit files private to the user. This is implemented via a service user@lennart.service which is instantiated for each user and runs a per-user systemd. As mentioned, this isn't complete yet, so ymmv.
