Let say we have this user A multichain-util create chain1. So user A is the admin and the example address is generated shown below:

multichaind chain1@192.168.56.102:9587
 

User B will connect to chain1 and granted permission from user A.

What if user A is gone and have deleted all his files, can the 3rd user (User C) still connect to chain1 using the same address shown above?

If user A is gone, then other users can no longer connect to the chain using their IP address. However every node has this "node address", so user C can simply connect to user B's node.

Of course, you want to make sure that user B (or someone else) is granted admin privileges before shutting down user A, otherwise there will no way to modify any other permissions in future.
