One central library for all users?

I'm just trying out Immich on my desktop pc at the moment, hoping set it up on my Pi if all goes well. I would like to create one library where all users can view and upload images - the use case is me running immich on a Pi and setting up users for my family so we can all view our photos and everyone can upload their photos to create one large library. Is this use case possible?

On my test instance, I have created an admin user, uploaded some photos, and then created another user and added them as a partner. However, when logged in as the second user, I can only access the photos through the Sharing/Partners section which looks like it's going to create different libraries for all users but each user can view other users' libraries.

What's the best approach for what I want to achieve? Should I just create one user and share the login details to my family so we are all under the same account and library?
