I didn't notice any replies to your email so I'll take a crack at it.

If software update does the update it should apply to all accounts. If 
the account has insufficient privileges to complete the update it should 
either fail and tell you or ask for the admin account to authenticate. 
While you may have multiple accounts, they share the same core 
applications and OS components. So an update to iTunes or a security 
patch to Safari will be noticed by all users.
