Q: Can multiple people access the same datafile in GnuCash?
A: No, only 1 person may "work on" a GnuCash datafile at any given
time. In fact, when the second person tries to open the file, they
will see a worning message that the file is already being accessed.

This is a bit confusing -- you can have multiple people who share a datafile. True, you cannot have multiple people using the data at the same time, but they can serialize their access to the data file. Both people must have read/write access to the directory (to read the other's created files, and to create new files).

Ah yes. I see.



One way to set this up is by creating a user group and setting the data directory to be owned by the shared group and set to mode 2775. The '2' makes the directory setgid which copies the permissions to all files.


Okay, I made all your changes. Thanks.
