In a multi-user environment, group permissions are the way to allow more than one user write access to the web server's document root. Just pick a name for the new group and apply it. It could go something like this:

chown -R root:webmeisters /var/www/html/
find /var/www/html/ -type d -exec chmod u=rwx,g=rwxs,o=rx "{}" \;
find /var/www/html/ -type f -exec chmod u=rw,g=rw,o=r "{}" \;
