Immich sharing amongst users

Hi. I wanted to know if it is possible to setup Immich on a server through Docker, mount different folders (datasets on Truenas) in it and have each user use their own respective folder to store their photos? If so, what happens if they decide to share some photos, but don't want to reveal the full folder? Can Immich handle that? Without creating duplicates?

Something like this:

  • User1 has /mnt/user1/photos
  • User2 has /mnt/user2/photos
  • User3 has /mnt/user3/photos
I don't wnat User1 to be able to view the full contents of /mnt/user3/photos.

Can I manually upload photos to one of those folders and have Immich rescan that folder, so the newly added photos get added in the database? Or is this only possible 1 time during initial setup and building and do the users have to add the photos via the phone app for instance?

Thanks
