That depends on what product you are using, as we have updated our "multiple users" capabilities recently. In earlier products (and earlier versions of current products) you need to be a Mac administrator to profile displays, and as an admin you could read and write to shared folders, so the profile could be put in a universal location. In recent versions you can profile even as a non-admin user, but to allow that, the profiles and related stuff is being stored in the User's folder, so its not available to anyone else. Security issues are making global conveniences less easy to provide...I need to calibrate my macbook pro with two different users, should I calibrate twice in order to make the laptop to load the profile on start up or just once?
But yes, if you can profile successfully from both users, then you can do it independantly for each user. Another approach is to copy the display profile from the User's ColorSync > Profiles folder to the Root level ColorSync > Profiles folder, and set it as the profile for the display via the displays control panel. Please note that fast user switching can throw a kink into color management, so its best to have only one user logged on at at time for color managed work.
