chmod 2775 on the directory and make the group of the directory a group
that all of the users belong to.

(sorry, I'm really old school and I don't know what the "modern"
equivalent is for that without going to the man page, the flags are
drwxrwsr-x)

Then any files created in that directory should get the correct group
for everybody to have access.

You'll have to ensure everybody has the correct umask (002).
