I can´t find the way to share iphoto/itunes with two users in the same imac with maverick software
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), iOS 8.1.2
Put the iPhoto Library on an external USB or Thunderbolt disk that has been set to ignore ownership and permissions. It's the only troubler way.
Thanks Terence... In conclusion, the new software is worse than the old one, really? 😠 Because in my old mac I could share easily without copy with an external USB 😕
Bette or wore - that is a personal opinion - I find it much better
In any case the answer to your question is clear - use an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) with ownership ignored - iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users - Apple Support

Well the issue is with Sandboxing and the OS, not iPhoto, really. However, I don't think it's going to change. At heart you have a logical problem: you have different user accounts precisely so that each user's data can be kept separate. But you don't want the data kept separate. For those situations, the shared folder exists, but the complex nature of the iPhoto Library is always going to be too peculiar for that solution. So, to escape permissions issue, and to share the data, you need another disk.

It's not iPhoto that dropped the ball but the system. I believe it was Mavericks that broke the Shared folder compatibility for iPhoto, not iPhoto itself.
Also having the library on an external HD is a good way of freeing up space on the boot drive to assure optional system and application performance.
