 Description   

How to change the default permissions of newly created files and directory is described here,

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/specifying-permissions-for-schema-data-directories-and-tables/

This is not very intuitive for many users, especially if the change should be "update proof"

So it would be more intuitive and user friendly to add a server variable,
which can be added in my.cnf, which is also documented in

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/server-system-variables/.
