Having 1 user which many people use might be no good idea. To have a bit more of control, I suggest you create a group and put all those users that should have access to that file into that group and just assign that group to that file with chgrp.
The user which this file belongs can be for example the user "nobody" so no user owns that file, but all in the group can use it with the rights you've set.
