The ultimate answer is not to have the question at all. You do this by creating a simple file structure and assign permissions based on that structure. For example:

/groups/sales/ (only accessible by sales group)
/groups/marketing/ (only accessible by marketing group)
/groups/marketing/management (only accessible by marketing managers)

/home/username (only accessible by username)

/public (publicly shared data)
