You could write a setuid wrapper client that as root or an admin account can relate their local login to the file owned and only readable by the admin account. What sorts of clients do they use? Command line only, gui?
Sharing an id is not a good idea. Is there still authentication?
You could give them a web service, and the web server only would access the file.
