The traditional Unix approach is with file permissions: see the
FreeBSD Handbook section on "Permissions" and the chmod(1) manual page
(which you can access by typing "man 1 chmod").

For more complicated permission schemes, you way want to use ACLs.
See the Handbook section on "File System Access Control Lists".
