can multiple users access the same photos library

can multiple users access the same photos library or do you have to get under the hood and set up a wheel group or something of the like among the users?

You can share a Photos Library, if it is on an external, locally mounted drive as described here for iPhoto Libraries:

iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users


Simply changing the permissions on the library does not wrk. The library needs to be on a drive or a partition with the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag enabled.
