I scripted the creation of snapshots and it works fine. Now I'd

This fragment creates the snapshots, but get created with mode 0600:
-rw------- 1 qemu qemu 393216 Mar 19 17:08 hq-live-storage.snappy
-rw------- 1 qemu qemu 1048576 Mar 19 17:08 hq-live-v01.snappy
The user account is in the libvirt group and has permissions to do everything except
delete the files created by the snapshot, all I need is to get the snapshots created with
0660 mode.
This is on a Centos 7.6 installation. What knobs do I need to turn to control the umask?
I'm not sure if you can force libvirt to create the files with a
different mask, but perhaps a workaround would be to pre-create the
files yourself with desired permissions, then tell virsh to
--reuse-external (so that libvirt no longer has to try and create the
files, and thus doesn't mess with permissions).
