Install audacity as administrator for multi-user usage?

Post by NewlyAudacious » Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:44 pm

If I want Audacity to be used by all account holders on a machine, should I install it as administrator? Would each user then have his/her own workspace when working with Audacity?

Thanks.

Yes you do need to install it as an administrator.

Each user (with their own log-in) will see Audacity effectively independently as each will get their own set of Audacity Preferences in their user file-space.

See http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Preferences
