It's more complex than i thought, i only could think
1. Change file/directory ownership to another user
2. Set chmod for all file/directory manually
3. Run Bitcoin from different users (but both have same group) where chmod or chown permission is disabled.
I'm not sure it could work though

I never see any documentation mention sysperms, so i only could suggest you run Bitcoin Core from user where chmod is disabled or not allowed & set chmod for file/directory manually.
Thank you. That's right about group permissions need, as in the OP link.Disabling chmod is a good idea, but with sysperms=0 (default) bitcoind will create all new files mode 600, including the auth cookie and new blockchain data.
Possible to mitigate with scripts, but messy and error prone, and could still cause problems for other apps that need real-time new blocks data, such as Armory for example.

I think his project needs group permission (where as bitcoind only give permission to user)

The mention of sysperms is right in Running Bitcoin wiki

You've not given us enough information.
Presumably you're trying to do something with file permissions on the file system?
What operating system are you running and why are the files made with a file permission that the daemon can't access? 700 i know as rwx------, why is it doing this - surely if it can make something with that permission then it already has enough permissions to edit and read the data?

If we don't use sysperms=1, bitcoind sets datadir mode to 700 (rwx------) and files to 600 (rw-------) including auth cookie.
Does anyone have good bitcoind configuration to set datadir 750 (rwxr-x---) and files 640 (rw-r-----), with sysperms=0 (default) ?
