I think your 'be' program spawns a shell with the requested permissions.
This means that if you run it from within a script, it won't alter the
EID of the script, but instead give you an interactive shell.
I fear the only solution that I can I think of is to use 'be' or 'su'
before starting the script, then running it as the desired user.
PS. I suspect your 'be' program is just an suid'ed su - meaning you
could pass it some flags to run a program with the new shell.
Something like:
su project -c ./script
