Description

I want more than one UNIX user to have write access to shared multirust installation.

Is such mode supported/planned in the new rustup.rs? It should probably be like Git's core.sharedRepository setting, causing Cargo and other tools to create group-writable files and directories.

(I haven't actually experimented with it yet).

Research direction

Start by investigating rustup.rs support for a shared multirust installation and compare the requested behavior with Git's core.sharedRepository setting. Check how Cargo and other tools currently create files and directories; done would require an agreed, tested shared-installation mode, but the issue does not identify implementation files or tests.
