I want a specific set of users to have unrestricted access to one 
or more specific partitions.

Quoting from https://wiki.debian.org/UserPrivateGroups:

"It requires no action on the part of the end-user to work as 
expected. Files and directories within a group directory can be 
created, modified, and deleted, and (for the most part) have 
their permissions modified as usual, whilst being shared with 
other group members and protected from non-members."

and later

"Group directories (directories with the set-group-id flag) are 
shared work spaces (that again all users are able to visit). All 
members of the group that owns the directory can create and write 
to files in it. Additionally, according to the set-group-id flag, 
all newly created files in the group directory will belong to the 
creating user who wrote the file and (this is special) to the 
group the directory belongs to. The result is that all members of 
the group can work on the files in their group directory. Other 
than that, group directories work just like home directories. So 
if a file for example should be readable only by group members, 
again, put it into a private/ subdirectory!"

I see *NO DIFFERENCE* between that and my previously stated goal.
