Also, every ordinary user gets their own personal group on account 
creation (hence the name); this is the default group for files created 
by this user. Other than that and umask 002 or 007 and the setgid bit on 
shared directories (with a different group for sharing), that is all 
there is to it. This pattern has been popularised by Fedora / Red Hat / 
CentOS for at least ten years.

Kind regards,
