Another option is to have the authorized_keys file, and all its parent 
directories, owned by root, and not writable by anyone else. E.g. put it 
into /etc/ssh/domains/domain1/config/authorized_keys.

If user B really needs to write to user A's keys file, they could use sudo 
to do so.

Cheers, Chris.
