You shouldn't need to do anything special with permissions - so long as the application is installed in /Applications and not say, /Users/someone/Applications, then it's accessible to all users on the system.

As long as it has permissions of at least 755. – NReilingh Dec 29 '10 at 21:30
Something like Quark XPress surely comes with an installer that sets the required permissions. – Daniel Beck Dec 29 '10 at 22:10
