[Digikam-users] Separate instances of digikam, different album trees, same machine?

[Carl McGrath]

You could also create a unique new group, call it, e.g. digikam_users.
Add your logins to that group.

The edit permissions on your Archive directories to be in (owned by) 
that group as well, rwx permissions for the group
I believe x permission on the directory makes it searchable by the group
