You could try adding Add & Read (RWX)(RX) permissions to the shared
directory (and sub-directories) for the group(s) the Mac users are in. That
combined with Change (RWXD) (RWXD) for Creator Owner should be sufficient.
Actually Add (WX) is really all you should need to add if people don't need
to access files others create.
Assuming the permission scheme is fairly simple, you could set the
following permissions on the shared directory and let them propogate to all
files and sub-directories.
Administrators Full
System Full
Creator Owner Change
Researchers Add (or Add & Read)
The share permissions (if you've changed them from the default Everyone
Full) would have to be at least Researchers Change.
