What I think you need to do is:
Set each user up their own account.
Put all these users into a new group (vbe already said that).
This allows you to set file permissions for the group as a whole.
You can set these users to all have the same home directory (so that they all land in the application directory, and execute the same profile, etc), when they login.
(I assume that the application already tolerates multiple logins so handles the file locking, etc for multiple users).
