It depends how the directory is created. If they use mkdir from the shell then the best you can do is to force the group to match the parent directory -- search for "sticky bit on directory". Even that might not give the group access, it depends on the user's umask. If they create the directory through Samba then there's no shortage of hooks to force directory ownerships and permissions.
