set permissions and privileges for new files

Hello,

how can i set permissions and privileges for new files i create?

When i create a file, by default it comes as "read and write" for me and "read only" for staff and everyone. I wish to have by default "read and write" for me and staff and "read only" for everyone.

How is this possible?

Otherwise i must repair permissions and privileges everytime i create a file...

Thanks!

You can search for how to change the umask. There should be some info about it on the net.

However, why do you need to do this? Setting up file sharing ACLs on the shared folder may be a better way.

You would have to disable SIP (System Integrity Protection)
