I am interested in learning how to attach additional Monitors,Keyboards,Mice
to the users who are not the "front" one.

You can't; the GUI doesn't support that. Only one user can be active at a time.

My limited understanding is that Unix can be run as a time-shared OS.

Sure — any number of users can log in at once via the command-line interface. The usual tool for this is SSH. Once you're logged in remotely over an SSH connection, you're running as your local user account, with access to command-line tools and your files and everything. The one thing you can't do is, well, anything that would require a GUI.
