Shalom,

Create a group

Add the users to the group.

chmod g+w

SEP's suggestion will work only if the group that you will be creating becomes these users' primary group. Otherwise any file that gets created will be owned by the user's primary group and not this new group. In addition, your users must have their "umask" set to either 002 or 007 so that any new files that get created will be group writable. And the existing files will need to be changed to group writable. Also if the new group that you will create is NOT the users' primary group you must create the /etc/logingroup hardlinked to /etc/group so that this secondary group membership becomes effective.

This is no longer needed. I always symlinked them. (I don't know when this occurred? On 11.11 it isn't needed.)
