Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently, we state that multiple user setups for single AiiDA instances
are not officially supported, and until we do, we do not describe the
ways that people have used multiple users.

Managing multiple users
=======================
Setups with multiple users for a single AiiDA instance are currently not supported.
Instead, each AiiDA user should install AiiDA in a Unix/Windows account on their own computer.
Under this account it is possible to configure all the credentials necessary to connect to remote computers.
Using independent accounts will ensure that, for instance, the SSH credentials to connect to supercomputers are not shared with others.

.. _#4005: https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/4005
Data can be shared between instances using :ref:`AiiDA's export and import functionality <how-to:data:share>`.
Sharing (subsets of) the AiiDA graph can be done as often as needed.
