You have to either put the multiple users into a group or combine the
groups' members into a new group.  Only one user or group is permitted to
own a file.

Optionally, if you're trying to exclude a group of people, put them into a
group, then remove all permissions for the group but set the perms for
world; I call this ``access by exclusion.''
