[LBo] Can a user give access to files to a set of users?

[Billy Pollifrone]

I'd recommend making a group as root that users and future users can be
a part of. When the admin adds the user, the purpose of the user
(possibly as an employee) can be easily dealt with. Addition and
deletion does not affect current users.
