In Unix & Linux, you don't need to setup users, you can just run the processes under different uids (most process managers support this). Adding a user to /etc/passwd is only needed if you want them to have an username and password.
I had no idea this was possible - googling "process under different uid" doesn't yield anything obvious. Any hints on how to do this on a standard command linux prompt?

As in "hackers"? People, that is, from all ages, that weren't necessarily born knowing everything, and are not afraid to ask around when they don't know how to do something?
If so, then this is the wrong website for this kind of snark.
