If you want classic Unix permissions on a file system on a fixed partition on a non-removable device, then you simply put the device into /etc/fstab with DEFAULT mount options. None of this crazy "user" or "users" option stuff, since it's not a thing users are going to mount and unmount. Then, inside the mounted file system, you use chown and chgrp and chmod.
