I'd think you'd want to give them more granular control that a username that has your effective UID for all commands. Using sudo to let them perform certain operations as your user under another account or using Trusted Extensions/RBAC would make more sense.

XTSOLsetPolyInstInfo(3XTSOL) Trusted Extensions to X Windows Library Functions XTSOLsetPolyInstInfo(3XTSOL)
NAME
XTSOLsetPolyInstInfo - set polyinstantiation information
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag...] file... -lX11 -lXtsol [library...]
#include <X11/extensions/Xtsol.h>
Status XTSOLsetPolyInstInfo(display, sl, uidp, enabled);
Display *display;
m_label_t sl;
uid_t *uidp;
int enabled;
PARAMETERS
display Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay().
sl Specifies the sensitivity label.
uidp Specifies the pointer to UID.
enabled Specifies whether client can set the property information retrieved.
DESCRIPTION
The XTSOLsetPolyInstInfo() function sets the polyinstantiated information to get property resources. By default, when a client requests
property data for a polyinstantiated property, the data returned corresponds to the SL and UID of the requesting client. To get the prop-
erty data associated with a property with specific sl and uid, a client can use this call to set the SL and UID with enabled flag to TRUE.
The client should also restore the enabled flag to FALSE after retrieving the property value. Client must have the PRIV_WIN_MAC_WRITE and
PRIV_WIN_DAC_WRITE privileges.
RETURN VALUES
None.
ERRORS
BadAccess Lack of privilege.
BadValue Not a valid display or sl.
