I keep having a problem with permission for tileDB arrays. Whenever I create one, and write into it, I also want Group read, write and execute rights for everything in said array.  
Right now I have to change the rights each time I write something into the array, so everyone else can access it, because it automatically changes the rights to:  
`drwx------`

I am working with the tileDB 2.0.5 version, because I saw a similar issue that was supposed to be fixed with 2.0.5 but i keep having the same problem.  
Instead of this:

```
drwxr-xr-x 5 voss wheel 160 29 Jun 17:20 .
drwxrwxrwt 9 root wheel 288 29 Jun 17:20 ..
drwx------ 7 voss wheel 224 29 Jun 17:20 DP
drwx------ 7 voss wheel 224 29 Jun 17:20 GQ
drwx------ 7 voss wheel 224 29 Jun 17:20 GT

```

I’d like to have this:

```
  drwxr-xr-x 5 voss wheel 160 29 Jun 17:20 .
  drwxrwxrwt 9 root wheel 288 29 Jun 17:20 ..
  drwxrws--- 7 voss wheel 224 29 Jun 17:20 D
  drwxrws--- 7 voss wheel 224 29 Jun 17:20 GQ 
  drwxrws--- 7 voss wheel 224 29 Jun 17:20 GT

```

How can I give my coworkers rws permission without having to change the permissions after each write?
