Multiple users with same UID is not possible. However, you could add multiple users to a particular group and change the permissions accordingly.
Code:
 man group

should give you a better idea.

You can give multiple users sudo permissions ...
Code:
man sudo

should give you the initial help you want.

sbuild-adduser

SBUILD-ADDUSER(8)						   Debian sbuild						 SBUILD-ADDUSER(8)

NAME

       sbuild-adduser - add an sbuild user

SYNOPSIS

       sbuild-adduser [-h|--help | -V|--version] USER1 [USER2 [USERn...]]

DESCRIPTION

       sbuild-adduser  adds the specified users to the sbuild group, granting them the privelege to build packages with sbuild(1).  The schroot(1)
       configuration must permit the user to obtain root permissions in the chroot via the root-users and  root-groups	options  in  schroot.conf,
       because	this  is  required  to install and remove build-dependencies inside the chroot.  This is normally done using the sbuild group, but
       additional users or groups may be added in order to grant finer-grained permissions, for example to restrict individual users to particular
       chroots.

OPTIONS

   Actions
       -h, --help
	      Display this manual.

       -V, --version
	      Print version information.

   User selection
       USER   The user to be granted sbuild access.

EXAMPLES

       To allow user rleigh sbuild access:

       % sudo sbuild-adduser rleigh
