Impersonation deployment issue due to wrong onwership on work directory

Impersonation deployments are failing with UCD agent where work directory does not have right ownership permission.
When users run the impersonation deployment /work directory is not getting created with the parent directory permissions.
For ex: If impersonation user is part of ucagent group and /var directory has root:ucagent ownership already so if user runs the deployment then /var/work directory is gets created with root:root ownership which causes deployment failure due to permission denied as impersonation user is added into ucagent group

    This is still a pain point we are impacted by often, with weekly occurrences arising.

    It would reduce a lot of failures if the folders created then match the parent permission assignments

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
