Let me show you my situation.

I have 2 users of group "test".
I want the first user to be able to read/write files in this directory.
I want the second user to be able to read files only.

The directory is owned by another user in the group test. Is there any way to do this?

I don't think you can do this if the user you want to give read/write access doesn't own the file. From what I understand a third person actually owns the file, correct?

You can, take the read only user and add them to a different group that "test". Then you can set the read/write permissions differently on the other group for your files. Give the group "test" read/write permissions. This would do what you have said above.
