On Ubuntu 16.04, I installed cloudcompare using snap following:
sudo snap install cloudcompare
However, I get the following error when trying to launch it:
$ sudo cloudcompare.CloudCompare
cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /home /tmp/snap.rootfs_AUR1hM//home: Permission denied
How do I fix this?

Any chance this is in a lxd container?

Try running it without sudo? I tried running with sudo and got a different error related to permission, but running it without works for me.
EDIT:
The answer above is wrong. According to this bug, this will happen when /home is a symlink to a different directory.
To fix this, you need your /home directory to be a real directory. You can run the following command to remove the symlink and create an actual directory in /home.
sudo rm -R /home && sudo mkdir -p /home/${whoami} && sudo chmod ugo+rwx /home/$whoami
Alternatively, you can create a different user to run cloudcompare if you do not wish to modify your system.

I had this exact problem and was able to fix it using a bind mount instead of a symlink. In my case I had a symlink for my home dir to /data/home. Start by removing that;
rm /home
Then edit your /etc/fstab and add the line;
/data/home /home none bind
Reboot to test and /data/home will be mounted to /home
