I'm using Fedora 43 with GNOME and I have two user accounts: one for personal tasks and another for work. All my files are saved in the personal account (let's call it user1), but I need to access and edit some of these files from my work account (user2). I've already added both users to the same group for easier access, but I still get prompted to enter my password frequently, even though both accounts have sudo privileges. I've been advised by an AI to consider using ACLs or creating an SELinux rule, but I'm unsure which method is the safest and easiest for my needs. What would you recommend?

To avoid the constant password prompts, you'll want to ensure that the files in question have the right permissions. Setting the permissions of the folder to something like 770 can help. You might also consider creating a shared folder instead of changing settings in your home directory directly. This way, it could be more organized and easier to manage.
That's a good suggestion! I did set the permissions, but I'm still being asked for my password when I try to access those files. Should I create a separate shared folder in my home directory?
