title: Multi-user Conda Workflow
body: <p>Firstly, to mention what my goal is: To have a shared environment structure for 2+ users to access &amp; use.</p>
  
  <p>Current setup:  I have a Windows Server 2016 with full admin access that's connected to the companies active directory.  I've been using Python/Conda for a couple of years now but only for myself, I've never had to share any code to run under the same conditions.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried various solutions trying to set this up &amp; resulted in reinstalling anaconda/miniconda over &amp; over for a fresh start however I keep running into permission issues between users (both users are admins on the server.  I've also made a group on the server and gave the various anaconda (installed in different locations during my attempts; C:\, C:\ProgramData\, D:).</p>
  
  <p>How the ideal scenario would work is:  I create a new environment in Conda which installs to a shared location between the users.  Once I create the environment, me &amp; the other users can activate it, install packages and both users can use whatever package the other installs.</p>
  
  <p>Where we're at the moment is, I've created an environment in D:\envs.  I've then asked the other user to install pandas in that environment (we've also tried vice versa), pandas installs successfully but then says Access Denied for when I try to use that package.</p>
  
  <p>I'm completely open to starting fresh if I need to or try other suggestions on the best way of doing this.</p>
