+  - Then add all the users involved in that project to that group `sudo usermod -a -G group_name user_name'
+  - Give group level full permission to a folder 'setfacl -R -m g:group_name:rwX /data/project_folder'
+  - Also make permissions default for all future folder created by everyone 'setfacl -Rd -m g:group_name:rwX /data/project_folder'
