I don't think you want to try and accomplish this through the
proftpd.conf.  The easiest approach would be to setup a common
group.

In /etc/group:
ftpgroup::97:user1,user2

Then set permissions on the folder to be:
drwxrwxr-x    2 admin   ftpgroup    1024  Aug 25 10:03 directory/

chmod 775 directory
chown admin.ftpgroup directory
