You can control a group’s access to your shared folders by setting access permissions in the File Sharing section of Sharing preferences. See Set up file sharing.

You can also set group access permissions for folders and files inside your shared folders or elsewhere on your Mac. These access permissions also apply to users who log in to your Mac directly instead of connecting to your Mac for file sharing. See Change permissions for files, folders, or disks.
