# How to share a tmux session accross users?
It can be handy to share a tmux session between different user accounts, for
example to allow a someone to look over your shoulder while you work on
something.
To do this, we need to have a folder with group permission shared between the
two persons.
In the Fedora infrastructure we can easily use the ``fi-apprentice`` group for
this.
So we have created the folder:
* /var/tmux/shared which is writable to the fi-apprentice group
You can then create a tmux session using:
::
tmux -S /var/tmux/shared new -s <name>
And the other person(s) can join it using:
::
tmux -S /var/tmux/shared att -t <name>
