I tried to make a the /opt/apps folder accessible to all users of the 'www' group. The main user of the group would be the 'jboss' user, so I runned:

sudo chown -R jboss:www /opt/apps

Both the 'jboss' and the 'ubuntu' user are in the 'www' group, but only the 'jboss' user can write in the /opt/apps folder.

How can I make the /opt/apps folder writable to all users in the 'www' group?

Check the permissions of that folder as well as the group and owner. 

ls -l

will show them.

If the group does not have write permissions then just 

chmod g+w /opt/apps

and you might need to do that recursively with the -r flag to chmod

If I understand the question correctly, you want the "www" group to have 'read', 'write' and 'execute' privileges on the "/opt/apps" folder (directory) and subdirectories.

In that case, use the chmod command like this:

sudo chmod -R g+rwx /opt/apps
