Fabian, You could put them in the local power users group. That would allow them to share files (and printers) per the description in musrmgr.exe "Members can share directories and printers."
However, I agree with Mr. Francis. It's a *bad* idea.

Don't you have a file server that they can share data through? One thing that I have setup on our file servers is individual home directories and departmental shares. The departmental shares allow anyone in the department to share information with anyone else in that department. The users can expand or restrict the rights on individual sub-directories as needed. For inter-departmental projects, we setup custom shares and groups on the file server to provide the level of access that is required. We also strongly encourage that all data is stored on the file servers since the file servers are backed up nightly whereas individual workstations are not. This also simplifies the desktop management aspect of things since they can rebuild a system with less concern about the data that resides on the system.
