One Node-RED instance is shared among all users who have access, so are all flows in that instance.

You can setup different users in the settings.js, but that is for authentication purposes only.

You'd have to run a separate Node-RED instance for each user. There are some examples for that, if you search the forum. Like this one: [Node red multiple instances](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-multiple-instances/9787)
