>
> #ll
> drwxrwx---+ 2 user root 6 Feb  1 11:04 test_file
>
> default:group:tech:r-x

> Currently the problem that I have is all the users are in the same group 'company' then as I can't force the group as root the default group will be 'company', which implies everybody will have access to this file.

"force group = root" affects only the *permission group*, not the groups defined
by ACLs.

So simply "force group = root" will solve the problem. Try it!
