Hi, @rrhascall

After that, you just need to assign your shared computer to multiple users. For example, RDS, AVD
Additionally, you might consider using Power BI Report Server, which will allow multiple users to create reports, etc. You can learn about Power BI Report Server by clicking the link below.

I imagine each needs their own copy. When you install executable files there are various files and registry settings that are specific to the user and/or install location.
