Node-RED is a single-user system. It runs one set of flows regardless of who has logged in to the editor. The storage layer doesn't know anything about individual users - it just stores the flows being deployed to the runtime.

If you want to just save flows to a database then you can use that plugin you've found and configure it via your settings file exactly as its readme says. That's all you do.
