Multi-user systems consist of two or more computers that are connected together and that share data and peripherals. A multi-user system includes a host computer (file server) and one or more stations. All stations share the same hard disk and may share other devices such as printers.

In information technology, a system that enables more than one user to access data at the same time.
the capability of some computer systems to provide access to many simultaneous users
The ability for multiple concurrent users to log on and run applications from a single server.

This describes an aspect of a computer system that can be accessed by more than one individual at a time.
Multi-user is a term that defines an operating system that allows concurrent access by multiple users of a computer. Time-sharing systems are multi-user systems. Most batch processing systems for mainframe computers may also be considered "multi-user", to avoid leaving the CPU idle while it waits for I/O operations to complete.
