how i did (suboptimal)

entering group users as sudoers using visudo, set them to
group% ALL:/usr/sbin/mount (not a 100% sure, did this before days...)

then your users can mount using sudo. you can then write a nice little
script with mount -t cifs -o credentials... where you can put username and
password in an encrypted hidden file in users directory.

Any better solution is kindly welcome!
