Why do you want to do this? You could do something similar to:
# groupadd flashusers
# chgrp flashusers /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
# chmod 0750 /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
# gpasswd -a niceguy flashusers
However that doesn't prevent a user from installing their own version of
flash (mount -o remount,noexec /home might). But I don't understand why.
What is your justification for doing that?
