virtual global user with vsftpd and pam?

I followed the ArchWiki for setting up vsftpd with xinetd and pam.  It works great for our clients to be able to upload/download from their own directory and have some privacy.  Now I need to setup a couple of 'global' ftp user accounts that can be used by the production staff to browse the 'private' folders.  Anyone know how this can be done?  From what I've read so far, if guest_enable=YES, then local users cannot login even if local_enable=YES is set.

Here's my vsftpd.conf:

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
pam_service_name=ftp
xferlog_enable=YES
local_umask=022
listen=NO
connect_from_port_20=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=virtual
virtual_use_local_privs=YES
local_root=/pub/ftp/$USER
user_sub_token=$USER
hide_ids=YES

Guess I didn't dig far enough...this site describes the ability to have multiple types of virtual users with different abilities.

Solved.
