By having the directory's group be a shared group.  i.e. the people
who would have acccess to the webadmin account instead are members
of group webadmin.  The owner remains the original owner.  Set the 
owner's umask to 002

Files will then be created 664 and directories 775 with group
set to the shared group and the owner set to the owner.
