Best way to run a MacOS "user within a user"?

    Hi all - not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm curious if something is possible within Parallels (and/or what the best way to do this would be).
    The scenario: on my Mac, I have two users, one for "Work" and one for "Personal". In some ways, I would prefer to be able to run one within a "Window" in the other, rather than doing a full-on switch between users. So my questions are:
    1. Is it possible to do this with an existing pair of users on a single MacOS installation? (i.e., run a MacOS instance within Parallels with one of the other users?) Or is the only way to do this:
    2. By installing a second copy of MacOS, migrating the user, and then running there? (Which presumably precludes fully switching back and forth between users, which is sometimes helpful/necessary.)

    Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.
