Ok, it's more like
http://152.6.125.145:9673/directory1/index_html
(at least you don't have to mention which OS you are using.)

Create a user folder in the database Folder, and add your 10 users in this
user folder.
Afterwards, click on the database folder, then on the Security tab.
Either add a role, that each of the user should be part of, or use the
Manager role.
Now disable the inherit check button on "View". Check the button for your
choosen Role in the "View" row.
