script execution

hey everyone,
i'm having some problems setting permissions for a folder that contains shell scripts.. i need the folder to be available for read/write/execute for all users of the system. right now, the folders location is /scripts.. currently, i have to allow the engineers using the scripts to su into root in order to execute them. any help would be greatly appreciated..

thanks,
adam

Set root as the owner and users as the group for the script directory and everything inside it.
chown -R root.users /scripts

Will change all permissions to rwx for root, rwx for users group and r for world.
chmod 774 /scripts/*

Here is a good link explaining it,
