Author Super simple squid cache question

Sorry this question is so basic, but I walked into a problem and I'm
trying to help debug.

Does the Squid cache only cache dependent on the requester's IP? For
example, if user A uses Squid as a proxy to reach server B, will the
Squid cache only that result for that user? If a different user comes
in and requests the exact same file, will Squid go retrieve it again
and cache for user C?

Thanks,
Scott

SQUID will cache http requests and Meta tages which are not in cache directory from server.

Squid will give the cached content / retrieved content to those who are having privillages to use that.

Squid service will be definely based on Access Control Lists + http_access rules. If the both user1 and user2 are having access to use web then, squid will check whether request is cached in cache directory if so servicing with that, else fetch it from web server and store them in cache directory. After that contents will be served to clients.

HTH.
