shared access

Multiple users permitted

Shared access describes an arrangement where multiple users, groups, or systems can use the same resource, space, or information.

The term appears in computing contexts—shared access to a database—and in physical settings like roads or facilities: The trail has shared access for hikers and cyclists.

Shared access often implies rules governing simultaneous use or permissions.
