How to use screen in mulit user mode in linux?

Linux screen command is one of the most used command in my life. Not only it is very useful but also it is very versatile. Screen is mainly used to run another terminal inside our normal linux terminal.

For example, you are connecting to your remote computer over ssh and want to run a script which will take more than 1 hour to execute. Normal cases there are chances that your remote connection over ssh might get disconnected. If so you need to start the whole process again as once the remote connection get disconnected, the running process will also stops.
