OK.  I missed that part.

Sounds like they need to set up a virtual host tied to a login
address - eg create a user, add content to user's public_html
directory and make that ~newuser/public_html/  directory be the
document root for the virtual host web site.   Give those 3 users
write access to that public_html directory, probably by making a
unique group for it, making it group writable and world readable
and put those users in that group.

Playing around with ACLs would be more interesting for it.
