File permissions?

Hi,

We run a web server and some of our users keep 
up to date it via scp.
What is the best file permission to enable those
users to overwrite the old pages, but not to allow
any other to delete the pages?

I think I should create a 'users' group, put them in
this group and then change the ownership of the files
from root.root to root.users and the permission of
the files from 600 to 660.

What do you think? Won't it be a big security hole?
How do the others solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Regards;

                 Istvan
