Of course, you have complete control over such things. The only problem is
that you should know how to exercise your control. :-)
For you to create files inside a directory, you need w and x permissions in
the directory. So, For everyone to create files inside a root owned directory,
the perms should look like:
drwxrwxrwx
It will be safer if you set the sticky bit on the directory, so that this will
look like:
drwxrwxrwt
a la /tmp and /var/tmp.
