This can be done with UPG. The key to UPG is liberal umask settings for group permissions. The reason for having one user per group and having that group as the default is to protect a users home directory from the liberal umask settings. You can easily create a "sales" group and add users to it. The create a sales directory that is SGID and your users can now collaborate easier and have safety.
