How to implement  
In one single instance, i.e say ([http://127.0.0.1:1880/](http://127.0.0.1:1880/)), I must be able to log in with different users

Secondly,  
When User X logins to [http://127.0.0.1:1880/](http://127.0.0.1:1880/), X must be able to see **only User X** flows and catalogues  
When User Y logins to [http://127.0.0.1:1880/](http://127.0.0.1:1880/), Y must be able to see **only User Y** flows and catalogues

Asked and answered many times. It doesn't work like that I'm afraid. 1 instance is just that, 1 instance. If you want completely separate workspaces run separate instances. It is very easy to do (use command like options to launch additional instances - info is in the forum and documentation)

Alright, I'm able to create and run separate instances and run it, that's not a problem

Yes different users can login. That info is also in the documentation. However there is only one set of flows. This is by design.

Ben Hardill blogged a create series of posts on how to create a multi-tenent Node-RED system . It is a proof of concept and would need further development but it shows what needs to be done to isolate users.
