Definitive permission to folder

Question

I'm giving full permission in a folder using chmod:

chmod 777 /srv/folder

Inside this folder many other folders and files will be created. My problem is that the full permission does no apply to these new folders and files. When I run the chmod command everything works OK, but after, when someone create a new file or folder this new item throws access denied error.

How can I set the permission in a way that everyone can do anything inside this folder, without having to update the permission?

Thanks in advance for any help.

If the users are all in the same group, you can use 'chmod g+s /path/to/directory' to set the new files and folders created to belong to the same group as the parent. — , May 19 '16 at 20:53

Try this:

chmod g+s /srv/folder

This will sticky the group permission of any new files to that of the parent - if I understand correctly what you want to do.
