a) Yes, of course. But this should be obvious from the simple fact that 
almost any OS now in use supports multiple sequential users. In other 
words, multiple people could have logins with their own data areas.

b) But I suspect you mean can one user have multiple sets of books. The 
answer is again yes. On installation of gnucash (one PROGRAM) can be 
used for multiple sets of books (DATA). However I strongly suggest you 
put them int different directories (file folders) and not just give them 
different names. For example, the books for organization A within the 
directory where all that organization's stuff is kept, for organization 
B within the directory where that organization's stuff is kept, etc. << 
that example because I have been treasurer of more than one org at the 
same time.
