Andreas Wiese say that if you have common group id across all hosts you may solve your issue with setgid bit and ACL

I ask question Predefined group ids across Linux distros?

After own research found that such group exist across all touched distros: sys group share id 3 on Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, Fedora, CentOS, Suse, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, MacOSX, Solaris.

With this:

$ sudo chgrp -R sys /mnt/data/dir $ sudo chmod -R g+s /mnt/data/dir $ sudo setfacl -R -m g:sys:rwx /mnt/data/dir $ sudo setfacl -R -d -m g:sys:rwx /mnt/data/dir 

and flavor of this:

$ sudo adduser user sys 

you user be able to read/write any file on /dir.

Most job may do setgid bit but unfortunately you usually have little control on umask. So ACL is used to provide complete solution.
