They will see status change but beware they will NOT see any ACK/UNACK
or MANAGE/UNMANAGE changes executed by a different user, unless they do
a "Refresh map" which needs to be manually initiated and can take a long
time.

If your users all want the same view, given the above caveat, then
maintaining a single default map is much the easiest.  The power comes
if you want to give different views to different Operators.
