Answer
umask is used to determine the file permission for newly created files and directory. You can configure umask in /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile file for all users. By Default most Linux distribution set umask to 022 (or) 002.
To modify the umask values:
Open /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc file and modify umask values as per your wish.
