Question

Can photos be stored and accessible to more than one user using Adobe Lightroom on Adobe cloud

We are a not-for-profit organization that would like to store edited photos with person, place, and activity tags on the Adobe cloud.  We are accustomed to using Lightroom, but I would not consider us as being proficient.  Volunteers having their own Adobe cloud account would need access to the photos with edits and tags.  Is this possible?

This is only possible through a web browser if you use the Abobe cloud thing and even then the access is limited. You might be better off using Lightroom Classic and setting up an export collection that exports to a cloud service such as dropbox, onedrive, icloud, google drive etc. You will only be able to edit the keywords and such on one machine but it would be accessible to anybody even people without a Adobe account. It might even be easier to just use Apple Photos with a shared album or google photos doing the same. Those are simple to use and do the keyword and person place thing for you. Much less powerful image editing but it sounds like you don't really need that at all.

I disagree, Jao. As the OP and their volunteers all have their own account it is easily possible to create a shared album in any of the Lightroom apps (it doesn't have to be just in the web browser). So the "owner" sets up the album, then enables it for sharing, and ensures the appropriate share settings are checked (e.g. allow downloads, show metadata, show location info, allow comments & likes). Then send an invitation to each of the volunteers (and it's even possible to allow the recipients to contribute their own images to the album), and once the email notification has been received and accepted the recipient will see that album appear in all of their Lightroom apps in the Shared With You section. They can thus view the associated metadata and location data, download jpegs, comment/like as appropriate. At this stage only the "owner" can edit any of the images, though of course any such edits would be seen by all the other invitees. The "owner" can also edit any images added to the album by any of the invitees. Absolutely no need to faff around with any of the other cloud services, simply use the system that they're all paying for.
