Disable File Permissions

I have a very unique and confusing problem. I recently started working for a web design company, we use a Mac G5 Tower with Leopard Server installed. What I need to do is, if at all possible, disable file permissions so that anyone on the network can make changes to a file without having to change the permissions first. Right now, after a file is created the permissions have to be changed to allow everyone else to make changes if needed. Is there a way to disable file permissions in order to avoid this problem altogether?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I personally run Linux, as such I am not a Mac guru so any help will most likely need to be in basic terms so I don't get lost.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Natobasso, thanks for the tips, however what you pointed me to was a little to general. However, maybe I can now more clearly define my question. If I create a file in photoshop and save it to the server, by default everyone can read the file, but only I can write to it. Is there a way to make it where when I (or anyone else) create a file, by default everyone can read and write to it? I am looking for a specific answer as I am unable to find much of anything on Google.

Thanks.
 
My first link is more specific, so look at that one again. You need to set the server permissions and add any users you want to be included in Read/Write for all files placed there.
 
I have looked over both links again and looked at the configuration utilities on the server, none of it seems to be helping. Everyone has read/write access to the shared folder and all child files and child directories. The problem is the permissions of the individual files don't change from when they were created. If I create a file, without manually going in and changing the permissions no one else can write to that particular file. Same goes for folders, if I create a folder, not one else can add files to it until I change the permissions on it.
 
From what I know:

1. All users must have Read/Write access to the server
2. All users must be in the same group with the same access

Is this the case?

What I have seen before are scripts that flip all the permissions to read write every few minutes, but this is kludgy.
 
I believe that everyone is in the same group with the same permissions. I remember it being set that way when I looked earlier today. Also, my boss doesn't want the use of any scripts on the server. Not sure why, but I won't be able to fix the problem with scripts.
