Being able to read, write or execute a file is based on ownership and
permissions. You can change the owner of a file (or directory) with chown and
you can change the permissions with chmod. man chown or chmod will give you
lots of details you'll need to get with.
The way I do this (not the only way) is to use the 'users' group for files I
want everyone to be able to access, just add those folks to the 'users' group
and adjust the permissions accordingly.
