How set user and group of new service binary file added to AOSP?

Question

Setting deamon user and group done on myservice.rc file:

service myservice /vendor/bin/myservice
    class core
    user system
    group system

Resulting:

adb shell ps -A | grep myservice
system         346     1   10853048  10228 0                   0 S myservice

Still:

adb shell ls -l /vendor/bin/myservice
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root shell 18088968 2025-06-12 06:18 /vendor/bin/myservice

Any advice is more than welcome

Resolved by setting config.fs file on device.mk
TARGET_FS_CONFIG_GEN += path/to/my_config.fs

And setting my_config.fs

[system/bin/foo_service]
mode: 0555
user: AID_VENDOR_FOO
group: AID_SYSTEM
caps: SYS_ADMIN | SYS_NICE
