Need more information.  Are you creating new users and putting files in those
user directories in /usr/share or elsewhere?

The /usr/share hierarchy is controlled by the system wide fs-perms.  Many of
it's standard subdirectories will globally set all subdirectories become
root:root 0755, while files become 0644 root:root.

See the fs-perms.txt file: meta/files/fs-perms.txt

Pay specific attention to the comment:

# Note: all standard config directories are automatically assigned "0755 root
root false - - -"

'standard config directories' refer to the following list:

(from classes/package.bbclass)
    # By default all of the standard directories specified in
    # bitbake.conf will get 0755 root:root.
    target_path_vars = [    'base_prefix',
                'prefix',
                'exec_prefix',
                'base_bindir',
                'base_sbindir',
                'base_libdir',
                'datadir',
                'sysconfdir',
                'servicedir',
                'sharedstatedir',
                'localstatedir',
                'infodir',
                'mandir',
                'docdir',
                'bindir',
                'sbindir',
                'libexecdir',
                'libdir',
                'includedir',
                'oldincludedir' ]
