I was given the following instructions by Parallels Tech Support:
- Move the VM files (.pvs and .hdd) to your Mac shared folder (for example, Macintosh HD > Users > Shared > VM folder).
- In the Finder, right-click (Ctrl-click) the folder with the VM and choose Get Info from the pop-up menu.
- In the Get Info window expand the Ownership&Permissions group.
- Expand the Details group.
- Set the access level for Others to Read&Write.
- Click the Apply to the enclosed items button.
- Now each user of your Mac is able to access the VMs stored in this folder.
If starting Parallels Desktop on another user account still gives you a
blank VM list and prompts you to create a new VM, try to launch the VM
manually by clicking the .pvs file in the Mac shared folder. Generally,
it should be done only once, but you can also create an alias on your
Mac OS desktop for future use.
Please keep in mind that running the same VM by several users
simultaneously may result in unexpected program behavior and data loss.
This didn't work for me, which I believe may be because I'm using a Boot Camp partition.
