This plan doesn't involve sharing a single account; rather, each member has their own independent account and can collaborate in a common environment, managed by an administrator.
How do I create a new team?
How do I share a design with my team?

As an administrator, when adding a new person to the team, you can manage permissions so they only see the designs you choose.
