Well, you didn't really explain how you intend to install/use hashcat and also how you manage the access to GPU/CPU OpenCL resources.
I think the main problem with multi-user system and hashcat is the resource sharing. Are those accounts logged in at the same time or is it guaranteed that only 1 user runs hashcat at any time ?
Back to the main problem/question, I think you used "make install" to install hashcat... but you can also just put the hashcat download into every users /home/[user]/software/hashcat/ (or similar) folder and therefore each and every user has their own hashcat folder and there won't be any conflct with permissions and restore/log/potfile etc
Does this solution work for you ?
BTW: as you might already know, some files can be choosen when hashcat is launched, like --restore-file-path , --potfile-path and --outfile etc
