Is there a minimal command I can use, so that Sally1 is able to have all the permissions that Johnny1 has?
Why not give them the same UID?

Because that would create a single user with two different login names. And that's a really bad idea, because user IDs and group IDs should be unique. If two users share a UID, which entry in /etc/passwd is used to find home directory and login shell? getpwuid and the underlying getpwuid both return a SINGLE record.
