Is there any way to make a file be RWX (777) by default?

It's a requirement for this server, I understand the security issues, they make perfect sense ... but this server is just used by 2 people for development and test and having files be 777 is a requirement unfortunately. I was just wondering if there is a way to make them RWX (777) by default so they don't have to do it manually.

Thanks!

NAME
pam_console_apply - set or revoke permissions for users at the system console SYNOPSIS
pam_console_apply [-r] DESCRIPTION
pam_console_apply sets or resets permissions on devices in the same manner as pam_console. If /var/run/console.lock exists, pam_console_apply will grant permissions to the user listed therein. If the lock file does not exist, permissions are reset to those listed in /etc/security/console.perms, which should be configured to set permissions on devices so that root owns them. ARGUMENTS
-r Signals pam_console_apply to reset permissions. The default is to set permissions so that the user listed in /var/run/console.lock has access to the devices, and to reset permissions if no such file exists. FILES
/var/run/console.lock /etc/security/console.perms SEE ALSO
