If you don't mind could you expound on this a little?

Thanks, this was my initial solution but I like accountability associated
with unique logins, also some users have access to content that I don't want
to give to others (the ability to upload, a different set of files etc)

So by mounting network drives multiple times I am not using resources,
slowing down either system?

Thanks again,
