Xsan: New folders may have unexpected group ownership

When creating folders on an Xsan volume, the group owner of a new folder is the primary group of the user who created it—not the group owner of the parent folder.

Because of this, users who are members of a common group, but who have other primary groups, may create folders with varying ownership inside the folder of their common group. Members of this group may expect to have access to everything inside of the common group's folder, but that won't be the case.

To resolve the issue, log in as an administrator, select the affected folder, and Get Info. In the Ownership & Permissions section of the Info window, change the ownership to the desired group.
