i) Do your homework alone
ii) just googeling your question brings a million pages explaining exactly that homework
iii) even in here's FAQ subforum you'll find a comprehensive guide on that topic

Buddy,

In Unix, the users have been characterised into three groups:
Owner (you)
Group (a group of other users that you set up)
World (anyone else browsing around on the file system)

So you can put the users according to your conditions. Once this is done then u can provide permissions to those groups as a whole which will equally be applied on the users inside it.

This is the only way. We can't give permissions to users individually.

This is incorrect. You can give permissions to users or groups with ACLs if your UNIX system supports it.
