Add those users to the firebird group, or make sure all those programs use
the service manager or tcp/ip connection to attach to the database. The
problem is now that they try to access the database as a local database
(which AFAIK means it behaves as a privately owned classic server process),
but can't get it to work as they don't have access to shared resources like
the lockfiles.
