full user/group rights would be umask 007 where that final 7 can be less if
you want to allow some "other" access. Furthermore make sure that the group
has write access to the directory so they can remove the files if you want
that allowed too. The default file_open_mode of 0666 should be sufficient
for you unless you want to force +x, then make it 0770 (again, whatever you
want to do with the final digit for "other" access).
