I use Linux file permissions for this.   I do the following on Red Hat.  You
will need to find the commands for your distro.

create a new group "groupadd consultants"

add all the relevant users to the group  "usermod -G consultants pbubel"

Give the group ownership of the share  "chown pbubel:consultants
/path/to/share

I use the same approach to grant access to specific shares in Windows.
