Description
Reported in: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/shiny-discuss/kSSkZhGrq4s
We have Shiny Server up and running successfully but users are unable to debug their apps without Admin assistance.
The users are not able to read their app logs at ~/ShinyApps/log/ due to permission settings of 640.
Should the permissions not be set to '644' by Shiny when using "user_dirs"?
They only mentioned "user_dirs" case, but this is also true for "site_dir".
May be we could have a configuration for this so users can control the behavior.
