HDFS directory permission issue

I am creating a directory under /user with some name say abcd , but permission for this user is getting set 750 but same operation when is being performed in the different environment permission is getting set 700 , however permission for the directory /user is drwxr-xr-x in both environment .

please find below commands for the operation performed while creating the hdfs directory .

hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/abcd
hdfs dfs -chown abcd:hdfs  

Thanks

Can you please check the "fs.permissions.umask-mode" property value defined inside your cluster. Is this value set differently in your different clusters?

Ambari --> HDFS --> Configs --> Advanced --> "Advanced hdfs-site"
