Have you tried using a new group? They can all be a part of this group, and it should be fairly seamless as long as the file permissions are set correctly (whch would also involve setting their umask correctly in their .profile)... They could also use sudo, but some users may tire of having to type "sudo -u whomever whatever" for the majority of their work...

Just curious. I have several unix echo commands(echo Y > file.txt) running in parallel(each directs a value of 'Y' to the same file). What happens if 2 echo's collide(trying to the write to the same file at the same time)? Not sure how unix deals with this.

lppasswd
lppasswd(1) Apple Inc. lppasswd(1)
NAME
lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords.
SYNOPSIS
lppasswd [ username ]
lppasswd -a [ -g groupname ] username
lppasswd -x username
DESCRIPTION
lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt
for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (user-
name), or delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames.
OPTIONS
lppasswd supports the following options:
-g groupname
Specifies a group other than the default system group.
SECURITY ISSUES
By default, the lppasswd program is not installed to allow ordinary users to change their passwords. To enable this, the lppasswd command
must be made setuid to root with the command:
chmod u+s lppasswd
While every attempt has been made to make lppasswd secure against exploits that could grant super-user privileges to unprivileged users,
paranoid system administrators may wish to use Basic authentication with accounts managed by PAM instead.
