One possibility would be to have the namespaces setup separately for
your user groups. If you use flexible enough userdb (or you can play
with post-login scripts), you could return the namespace settings from
there:

namespace_2=maildir:/var/mail/shared1
namespace_2_prefix=shared1/
namespace_2_type=public
