When sharing folders or setting permissions for folders, you have 'Staff' on the default public folders. If you delete this, however, you can no longer add 'Staff' like it was, and you would instead have to add all the users of the computer individually instead. Same goes for 'System'. A few folders on the computer can only be changed through 'System' profile - which basically means you need an admin password to change anything - but there is no visible way to manually set that option.
sudo chgrp staff path/to/item
sudo chmod gr,X path/to/item
