If you cannot have your users use a script when they create files in your directories, then maybe you can run a cron job every 5 minutes that would run in the background to change file permissions. This script would need to run as root. Would something like that work for you?
Without more information it is not possible to write the script. Would these files live under a common tree? If these directories are not colocated, is is possibe to get a list of directories to check?

when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
