From one user's account on Mac OS (Monteray in this case) is it possible to backup all User folder data, including other users, using FFSync? I am receiving permission errors when I try, but is there a work around or do all complete User folder backups need to happen from within the Admin account? Or, do I need to log into each user account and run FFSync from inside each separately?

Of course, the permissions are there to prevent other users from accessing your data.
You can either run FFS from each account for backups or run FFS using sudo from a terminal.
