Multiple SEQUENTIAL users is supported (if they all have access to a
shared data location where the gnucash data file is stored.
Multiple SIMULTANEOUS users is not. Since you asked "how" I will explain
that this requires a DBM (database manager) with the application program
(in this case gnucash) running under the control of the DBM << I used
to work in the mainframe DB2/SQL environment >>
The problem is to allow multiple (simultaneous) users READ access to the
data but only one at a time WRITE access << and then updating the data
that all users see and r=freeing up WRITE so another user can get it.
Gnucash does not have a DBM so can't support multiple simultaneous
users. But I put that badly. Typically an application program does not
contain the DBM but the type of database does, and then multiple
applications that access that type of database can all be coded to run
under that DBM.
