it's possible to create "different" users with the same userid

just add 3 users for example
Code:
useradd test                                               
useradd test1                                              
useradd test2

set them to the same userid in /etc/passwd

Code:
test:*:207:1::/home/test:/usr/bin/ksh                                  
test1:*:207:1::/home/test1:/usr/bin/ksh                                
test2:*:207:1::/home/test2:/usr/bin/ksh


thats it (in this example no home directories are created)

they can have different or the same home directories, und they have their own passwords in /etc/security/passwd, since the name and not the id is important for passwords

Code:
test:
        password = nsm/mRaQTA5PU
        lastupdate = 1225873934
       
test1:
        password = phIupR.beuc0k
        lastupdate = 1225873941
     
test2:
        password = 8tTP0i.8T3Tss
        lastupdate = 1225873947

and so you can put them in the same group in /etc/group

testgroup:!:207:test,test1,test2



but the better and more common way to handle this is with different user ids and same group permissions


sudo ist also a very good way as mentioned above

cgexec

CGEXEC(1)							 libcgroup Manual							 CGEXEC(1)

NAME

       cgexec - run the task in given control groups

SYNOPSIS

       cgexec [-h] [-g <controllers>:<path>] [--sticky] command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       The cgexec program executes the task command with arguments arguments in the given control groups.

       -g <controllers>:<path>
	      defines  the  control  groups  in which the task will be run.  controllers is a list of controllers and path is the relative path to
	      control groups in the given controllers list.

	      This flag can be used multiple times to define multiple pairs of lists of controllers and relative paths.  Instead of  the  list	of
	      all mounted controllers, the wildcard b"*b" can be used.

	      If this option is not used, cgexec will automatically place the task in the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf.

	      If  /etc/cgrules.conf  configuration file is used, there can be used template names. Then the control group name contains a template
	      in destination tag (see cgrules.conf (5)) and if the cgroup does not exist in execution time, it is created,  based  on  /etc/cgcon-
	      fig.conf specification.  If the specifications are not present the group is created with the default kernel values.

       -h, --help
	      Display this help and exit.

       --sticky
	      If running the task command with this option, the daemon of service cgred (cgrulesengd process) does not change both the task of the
	      command and the child tasks. Without this option, the daemon does not change the task of the command but it changes the child  tasks
	      to the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf automatically.

EXAMPLES

       cgexec -g *:test1 ls
       runs command ls in control group test1 in all mounted controllers.

       cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 ls -l
       runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and memory.

       cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 -g swap:test2 ls -l
       runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and memory and control group test2 in controller swap.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       CGROUP_LOGLEVEL
	      controls verbosity of the tool. Allowed values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING or ERROR.

FILES

       /etc/cgrules.conf
	      default libcgroup configuration file
