How to set Rsyslog specific IP based logs permission?

I have added the template dynamic file to create syslog based on client IP address in the following file



/etc/rsyslog.conf

$template DynaFile,"/var/log/%FROMHOST-IP%/%syslogfacility-text%.log"
*.* -?DynaFile


However, the permission set is - root, root.



How can I change the permission of this dynamically created file to root, adm?



The purpose is that any user can read this file without a need for sudo permission.



I am using Ubuntu 16.04.
