Multi-user software is software that allows access by multiple users of a computer.
Time sharing operating system : It uses CPU scheduling and multiprogramming to provide each user with a small portion of time - shared computer. Each user has a separate program in memory. When program executes, it executes for only short time before it either finishes or needs to perform I/O.
