Yes. Access is designed to be multi-user.

It would be a good idea to split the database.
If that's a new idea, see:

How about 255 people (the stated limit)? or more realistically, 30 to
50 people?

Access is multiuser out of the box. No special programming is
required.

In practice it's essential to "split" the database. See the
instructions at
