are you looking for

force create mode (S)
        
        This parameter specifies a set of UNIX mode bit permissions that
        will always be set on a file created by Samba. This is done by
        bitwise 'OR'ing these bits onto the mode bits of a file that is
        being created or having its permissions changed. The default for
        this parameter is (in octal) 000. The modes in this parameter
        are bitwise 'OR'ed onto the file mode after the mask set in the
        create mask parameter is applied.
        
        See also the parameter create mask for details on masking mode
        bits on files.
        
        See also the inherit permissions parameter.
        
        Default: force create mode = 000
        
        Example: force create mode = 0755
        
        would force all created files to have read and execute
        permissions set for 'group' and 'other' as well as the
        read/write/execute bits set for the 'user'.
