Share Session with Two Different Users

Client User being loislane initiates the tmux session,

tmux -S /tmp/tmux-loislane attach -t shared

This will create a file which tmux refers to as a socket for connecting called tmp/tmux-loislane and only usable by Lois. Next Lois decides to give Clark access. He relays to her his user name clarkkent. Using ACLs Lois grants Clark access,

setfacl -m u:tinpham:rw /tmp/tmux-loislane

Clark on his console then connects to the socket file,

tmux -S /tmp/tmux-loislane attach -t shared 

The result will be that both Clark will see Lois' session and also be able to type in it too.
