Yes, you can do this. Make a unix group for these users.
As root:
groupadd staff
Now add users to this group. There may be a GUI way to do
this but I would just edit /etc/group and add the users' name
to the staff group.
Now make the directory:
mkdir -m 2770 /home/staff
I think you will find these messages in
~/.xsession-errors
