Here's another suggestion. Give the group user CREATE SESSION, but assign all of the object privileges to a ROLE. Grant the ROLE to the group user, but do not define it as a default role. Inside your application you can issue a SET ROLE command to activate the permissions. The ROLE can also be protected with a password.
