+<meta name="description" content="VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files."/>

+<h1>Multi-User Environment</h1>
+<p>Keep in mind, that the content of a mounted VeraCrypt volume is visible (accessible) to all logged on users. NTFS file/folder permissions can be set to prevent this, unless the volume is mounted as removable medium (see section
+<a href="Removable%20Medium%20Volume.html">
+<em>Volume Mounted as Removable Medium</em></a>) under a desktop edition of Windows Vista or later (sectors of a volume mounted as removable medium may be accessible at the volume level to users without administrator privileges, regardless of whether it is
+ accessible to them at the file-system level).<br>
+<br>
+Moreover, on Windows, the password cache is shared by all logged on users (for more information, please see the section
+<em>Settings -&gt; Preferences</em>, subsection <em>Cache passwords in driver memory</em>).<br>
+<br>
+Also note that switching users in Windows XP or later (<em>Fast User Switching</em> functionality) does
+<em>not</em> dismount a successfully mounted VeraCrypt volume (unlike system restart, which dismounts all mounted VeraCrypt volumes).<br>
+<br>
+On Windows 2000, the container file permissions are ignored when a file-hosted VeraCrypt volume is to be mounted. On all supported versions of Windows, users without administrator privileges can mount any partition/device-hosted VeraCrypt volume (provided that
+ they supply the correct password and/or keyfiles). A user without administrator privileges can dismount only volumes that he or she mounted. However, this does not apply to system favorite volumes unless you enable the option (disabled by default)
+<em>Settings</em> &gt; &lsquo;<em>System Favorite Volumes</em>&rsquo; &gt; &lsquo;<em>Allow only administrators to view and dismount system favorite volumes in VeraCrypt</em>&rsquo;.</p>
