Does each team member need to link to Git repo branch when using shared model

Lets say a team of 3 are using the "shared" model, linking a database on a development server. If I read the docs correctly, only 1 person needs to do this? Then, if the others have sql source control installed on their workstation, then wont the Db icons be updated to indicate they are setup - or does each member need to go through the "link" step, using the same Git repo path?
update: I think I know why - I chose "working folder", instead of mapping to a git repo

However, the question still stands - does each team member need to do the "link" step? https://documentation.red-gate.com/soc6/linking-to-source-control/other-source-control-systems/link-to-a-working-folder

This is because not all users might choose to use the same working folder path on their disk. There is an argument that when using the native VCS integration the tool should be able to "auto link", but this functionality doesn't exist yet.David Atkinson
